I am running stock 911 15x8 on all four corners with 215x60 tires. I am not sure what the back spacing is though.

Josh the ones I got from you have been working perfect. with the slicks.
I have been using the Diamond wheels with 4.5" backspace in the rears and 5" backspace in the front. 15 x 8 wheels 225/50-15 Hankook RS2. Not too much tire |

QUOTE(degreeoff @ Sep 8 2006, 06:00 PM)  what is the correct amount?? get some longer wheel studs. that way, you can add spacers if needed ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool_shades.gif) Andy |

why 8;s all around? you can fit 9's no prob....
most fuchs have 112-120 mm of backspace (~4 3/4") thats almost as far inboard as you can go..... |
