WTB: track wheels/tires for 1992 Porsche 964 C2 - 17x9, 17x7

peterfontana · Post by **peterfontana** » Tue Jun 17, 2008 6:31 pm

Hi - Saturday I picked up a 1992 Porsche 964 C2 and I would like track wheels and slicks for it, legal for SS. For wheels we're looking at 17x9 and 17x7 on a 5-130mm pattern, and a 55mm backspace (+/- 5mm). For tires I think the factory called for 255/40 and 205/50 on these wheels, but there's room for a little more if flexibility is needed.

The car came with "turbo-twist look" wheels in 17x9.5 and 17x8, and my reading of the rules says they would fail me out of SS/GT.

Suggestions, links, info, etc. welcome.

Thanks,
- Peter

I just got the track wheels (originally 993 wheels from a PCA member), and will be painting them tonight. Pictures to come, or just see the car at NHMS on July 8.

Hopefully I will, but it looks like my car wont be prepared enough by then

What did you end up with Ron? Last I knew you were going to move to SPB with Frank.
Oh, welcome back!!

I took the car off the road in october, did a full scca rollcage, JDM STI 2.0l block bored and stroked to 2.2l, JDM STI Spec-C heads, cosworth cams, cosworth oil pump, Garrett GT3076r turbo, 6-speed manual transmission, 1.5way rear differential.

That sort of thing.

You can live in the car when you retire.
