As above, i could do with some advice please.I have at the moment Turbo 1 17" wheels with
255 x40x17 ZR Uniroyal rain tyres ( approx 3mm ) and at the front 235 x45x17 ZR Uniroyal rain tyres( approx 6mm ).I have been offered Turbo 1 18" wheels at 10J x 18 at the rears and 8J x 18 at the front.They need refurbshing so i was going to change the tyres to Toyo Proxes T1-R and fit 285 at the back and 235 at the front.

2 things is it worth doing ?? ,and what would my old wheels and tyres be worth along with the Pirelli 265 x18 ZR 35 and 225 x 18 ZR 40 tyres that are almost new that i take off the 18's to get refurbished.

Any advice welcome ,Thank you

hi,

these 17" turbo 1 wouldn't fit a 944 would they? the fronts seem a bit too wide i think because 944s (year 1988 new dash) have 205 or 225s i think on the fronts. what are the offsets? because i like the turbo look alloys and have a 944. can any-one clarify.

On the inside of the wheels is ET 52 at the front and ET 47 at the rear is that the offset.
