wheels

I'd stick with the same size all round. 215/60 is OK (looks alright on mine)

you could stretch to 225/60 on the back, but I think it'd be to wide for the front clearance.

Phil, don't the rear wheels sit inside the bodywork more than the fronts? this is why I thought of putting bigger tyres on the rears.

Yes they do. You can afford to go wider on the rear for that reason. I'm putting some Cup wheels on mine and they came with Conti 225's which actually measure 245mm wide inflated, and they did just about fit when I tried them. Didn't drive with the fitted mind you so I don't know if they'd rub on cornering.

Depends what make you get. I've got details of Toyo's which claim their 225/60 to be 9.2" wide (234mm).

Hi Tony, what tyres did you end up with? Got any pics?

Are you going to the 30th Anniversary event as we could convoy up there? I'm probably going up together with Lew Stanlety, a new member from Steyning (924S also).

Stephen,
Are they 5 stud,all the same offset &15"-sorry don't know much about them as I'm just used to teledials on our 924S's & D90's.cup 1 & 2's on 964's.Jpeg would help.

These are 924 Turbo spider web wheels, they only come in 15x7J size and will fit a 924S correctly.
This is one that came on my 944 2.7, too small and narrow for it and its massive ARB!

Mike,
Thanks for the jpeg-what do you mean about the fat ARB-I have a Turbo front ARB which I will be fitting to the 924S-wasn't aware that it would foul anything>

You can use 52.3mm offset (late/ABS/'87>) 944 telephone dials to a 924S. Theyll fit and you can still use the same size tyres, in fact: theyll probably work a bit harder on a slightly wider rim. Porsche fitted 7" rims on the 924S Le Mans.

They fitted a staggered 6'' front and 7'' rear on the 924S Le Mans

Here's a pic of the 6x15 ET23 turbo spiderwebs. I bought them purely to go on the car for the paint shop and have sat in the basement since. A bargain at £40 collected.

The fat ARB doesnt foul anything, it just makes the front corner so flat it feels like it is trying to pull the relatively tall tyres off the rims!
The extra inch wheel diameter with corresponding lower profile tyres of the correct 16" wheels makes a lot of difference to the feel.
