Will 15" alloys fit a turbo

[homesea]

I have found a set of 15" teledials, will these fit my early turbo? will they go over the calipers?

If not I am still on the look out for alloys.

 

[homesea]

Any one any idea?

No they wont fit ,i tried some on an S2 and the wheel wouldnt fit over the caliper.

Tom,
Do you have any idea how long you would need a spare set of wheels for?

Just a week or two.

Tom,
I'm just outside Swindon (so not very close!) but I have lurking in my garage the original set of turbo D90s from my car (90 944T) complete with decent tyres. One of the rears has a slow puncture, takes about a week, and there are only 3 centre caps.
I'm not willing to part with them but you would be very welcome to borrow them if you wanted to come and get them!
Let me know if that helps.
David

It's a very kind offer David but I think a 400 mile round trip may be a bit to far.[]

To be honest I have been looking at cup1 reps and the money they are selling for is not what it used to be. So I might just buy a set to replace my cup 3's.

 

[DavidL]

No problem - shame you live oop north...didn't know they had cars up there yet!

I didn't respond because I didn't know. My guess was that the fronts probably wouldn't fit but the rears might. Just for my information did you try a rear, RH?

If they fit on the back then you only need to find 2 16" ones for the front if that's any easier.

I only tried it on the front and unfortunatly ive sold the 15" wheels so cant check the rear fit out.

 

[homesea]

I think this is getting silly![]

So I need two 15" for the rear and two 16" for the front, any one got these I can borrow?

It just reminds me of when I was a student and had a golf gti, I couldn't afford new tires so had one set of alloys on the front and a total different set on the rear.[:'(]

Hi Tom,

Put your location in your profile. There might be someone local to you with a spare set of wheels, but they might not know they're local!

Im in Sheffield and if my new wheels arrive tomorrow as promised, will have some cup3 reps you could borrow. They are the wrong offsets and the fronts sit too far under the arches but they should be OK till your wheels are refurbed.

Mind you, having said that i will need to be selling them pretty soon to help towards my very needed body repairs!!!

 

[Fen]

They're probably not the wrong offset for Tom's Turbo; I think it's a later model.

 

[homesea]

That would be great if I could borrow them, Shall I PM you my number?

Mine is also an 86 turbo so will be the same. (No ABS, just how I like it!)

Who is doing the body work for you? As I know a good guy who is very reasonable.

 

[Fen]

[] I was sure you had an '89 for some reason.

Hi Tom.

Im sorry i didnt get back to you yesterday mate. Im also sorry that i dont think il be able to lend them to you any more either as i have someone very interested in buyiong the wheels from me.

In regards to the bodywork, i have a guy who has quoted me £150 a panel(mates rates) That includes any fabrication and welding needed(and it needs lots!!) His normal rate is £300+ per panel.

I wish you the best of luck with the wheel search mate.

Many regards,

Stu
