Does anyone now if you can get cookie cutters in 8j? for a 83 944? Or shall I just run spacers at the back? I noticed it was a factory option to have 8j's at the back and 7's at the front.
I want a slightly wider track at the back and it would look better with the wheels another inch further out at the back...

If anyone is running spacers would be great to get any recommendations....

Thanks..

I run 25 mm bolt on spacers with my cookie cutters and they fill the arches lovely.

That car would look better with gold wheels I reckon.

I was thinking of painting my wheels gold but I think it might look tacky along with my spoiler that's covered in metal flake.

I thought they ran 20mm spacers straight from the factory at the back?
