Karl_Mac_ Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 I've bought a set of -40mm springs and plan to get a set of 7x16" Porsche 928 wheels. Will i need to modify the arches before fitting? Am I better looking for another style of 15" wheel?Can't go stupid low as the car needs to be practical, but i'd like to fill as much arch gap as I can get away with.

Karl_Mac_ Posted February 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 (edited) Also, can someone check my working out?7x16 alloys et6520mm adaptors 4x100 - 5x130 should correct the offset to 45, which is only 5mm off from standard. Lower offset = more poke?Run 195/40r16 tyres. Does that make sense? Edited February 19, 2014 by Karl_Mac_ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharpelupo Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 Iv got 928 wheels too with 20mm adaptors and running the same tyres i tested fitted and looked fine clearance wise, didnt drive it any where but looked good too me and its safe to say im lower then 40mm hope that helps Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you got any pics of the wheels fitted? Don't suppose you still have the wheels/adaptors? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
