I have decided to get some alloys for my 1991 928 GT and have found a set of 17” cup 1 replicas, details as follows:

Front
7.5x17 with 52 offset fitted with 205x50r17 Conti Sports

Rear
9x17 with 47 offset fitted with 255x40r17 Conti Sports

I have two questions for you 928 experts...

1) Could you please help me confirm whether these will fit straight on?

2) Anyone have an idea on what the tyre pressures be for these new alloys?

Thanks in advance

205 is too narrow for the fronts
and looks like the offsets are wrong

Hi :)

As Jason says the front tyres are too small...

The front offset should be 65 and with 52 the centre caps WILL NOT fit (take my word lol as I have 50)

The rear offset should also be 65 and 47 is MILES out....

So no dont buy them....

All the best Brett :)
