hi most porsche wheels have a large ET say 52 for instance the wheels on a typ3 are normaly iirc ET45 so this would mean 10mm more of the wheel is to the inside of the car now with wider wheels as well the amount that goes in towards the inner wheel arches gets bigger . you can get front discs drilled with the 5x130 patern but rear typ3 drums with porsche pattern !!! so to solve two problems in one you will have to use adaptors on the rear this has the added benifit of pushing the wheel out toward the arch again. you need to push them out on the front as well as stock wheels can rub on the front inner arch anyway solution spacer adaptors again! unless of course you want to fit 944 brakes all round then your getting into a whole crazy world . link time. http://toy4two.home.mindspring.com/offset.html http://www.rx7turboturbo.com/robrobinette/tire_diameter.htm http://www.germanlook.com/Html/Main.php http://www.shoptalkforums.com/ have a look around on those and see if it helps? im about to fit a set of 4 6x16 c2 design 90 i could have gone seven wide on the back but wanted to keep the overal weight down this is with 25mm thick spacer/adaptor plates on both axles does it work well there going on in the next couple of days so ill let you know. neil verdon 66 sqr on irs 2.2ltrtyp4 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org
