A trial fit to the car and the offset is wrong! way too far in. I wanted them to sit "in" as I plan to drop it but not this far! They were on a later porsche and my early car is a different offset. (the rim in this pic is not finished yet) ![]() ![]() So, as you can see I need spacers.. (as they are from a late offset strosek 928) My god ! they are expensive, on ebay a new set costs around £300 for what I need ![]() But..i found a second hand set on ebay, and the gent agreed to end now for half that figure. Still a lot, but when you are up the creek with no paddle.... Anyway a few days later a box arrived- 2x 35mm and 2x 42mm hubcentric spacers. ![]() sorted. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

I was happy at this point. A rust free 944, undersealed, new water pump, clutch, belts...and tidy inside. I had built what had seemed impossible to buy at a fraction of the cost. BUT The wheels - impossible to keep nice on a daily with bare alloy dishes in winter and i didnt like the spacers also i had to "hack" the front hubs to get the spacers on. So i changed the wheels, propper early offset (from a 930) so no spacers and they fill the arches. ![]() Rare Azev A, 10x17 & 8.5x17. ![]() ![]() |
