Wheel Offsets

[1schoir]

Will wheels with the OEM offset for a 987 fit on a 986 with no modifications or spacers?

Regards, Maurice.

RFM:

Thanks for the detailed info.

Are you saying that for the 18" wheels, the 987 OEM's will fit on a 986 but that 5 mm spacers must be added to the fronts and to the rears (plus longer bolts)?

987 - 8J x 18 ET 57 9J x 18 ET 43

986 - 7.5J x 18 ET 50 9J x 18 ET 52

on the front, at least a pair of 7mm spacers will be needed.

on the rear, 9mm is going to stick out.

Thanks.

So, if I install the rears without spacers, the wheel wells will fill out nicely?

If so, what size spacers to have the "filling out" of the wheel wells in the front match the filling out in the rear? I know that 7mm is needed in the front, but will slightly thicker spacers make for a better match to the look?

NP Maurice.

yes, I believe your rear is gonna fill out nicely,,,

on the front 7mm is gonnna bring it out even so perhaps going with 13~14mm should be a better match.
