18" on a Turbo???

John

My car has open wheelnuts - a friend gave me the blue book specs (can't quite remember them now) & they weren't in spec. The nuts still had a few threads left above the end of the bolt. This was with standard clubsport rims.

I agree with the tye sizes - mine feels better balanced on the track with 225's all round (P Zero C), & when they wear out, I've got some 9x17's to go on & should be able to go wider all round. []

I'll stick with standard szies for the road though.

Increasing front track will improve turn in. Beaky has 6mm spacers at the front and I was suitably impressed with the difference they made.

I currently use 7 mm front spacers on the turbo and have not noticed much difference in turn-in, but then perhaps this is because I run 16" wheels ?

Lee im presuming your talking about the ones fitted to a Red 968 in Manchester..
If so, i know them + there owner well... And they are good...as far as im aware theyl fit on your car.. After all if they fit a 968 they should fit to a 944.. same chassis....

They are from that very car Dave.

I am guessing you know it

Sure do..
The last time i saw the wheels , they looked good...Can say about the tyres, never took much notice about them...
Who knows he might even do you a p/x on your 968 wheels...[][]

So will i be ok with 10" rears and a 61 offset (for the turbo) and whats the recomended tyre size for the 10" rim ??

Enter the new width and offset into this calculator and you can see where it will stack up compared to your current wheels:

285s are the norm for a 10" wheel but you will need to check if your arch lips are rolled and if you have enough negative camber to safely clear them. 265s will fit easily

According to the guide they should be ok. I dont think my arches are rolled but i will be getting them doen when the car gets painted if not. I would prefer to put 265's on as i have a spare pair, i was offered some 295/30's but i turned them down as i didnt think they would fit !!
