That sure turned out great, Marc. How much different is the phonedial's offset vs. the Fuchs?

Jim:

There were one or two years that Porsche made 16x8 wheels for the 951 that have 23.3mm offsets. Both Fuchs and Phone Dials (ATE) made them.

All 16 x 8 911 wheels have 10.6 mm offsets. The effect is that the 23.3mm wheel pushes the wheel 13.3mm inward where there is plenty of room and away from the fender where (as you know) there is not a lot of room.

Now I wonder if those 245/45s would fit . . . . .

Marc
