Calling all 924S Owners
Help,
I need advice from anyone who has bought aftermarket wheels.  I've upgraded my 924S project with Turbo brakes, and so now I need some 16-inch wheels. I'm looking at a set of C2s, but I'm trying to figure out if I can get 7-inch wide wheels (ET 55) on the rear (with 225/50R16s) or will I need to stick with the 6-inch wide wheels (with 205/55R16s) both back and front. Any word from guys who have done this would be great. ThanksOBTW the fronts need a 7mm/1/4" spacer to fit on the hubs.

this is nit-picking, but I believe that any info about wheels that can be applied to the 924S can also be applied to the 944.

I know that's usually the case, especially with offsets and the like, but the fenders are much thinner, which limits the width of the wheel tire combo.

LJD,
Have you lowered the rear suspension at all? Thanks
