Porsche 928 S4 wheels. 16X7 with 65mm offset on front with 225/50/16's
Porsche 996 Classc 2's. 18X7.5 with 50mm offset on front with 225/40/18's. Both vans ran cut springs (couldn't afford lowered springs at the time) with no probs catching etc. I fitted rear suspension limiting stops to stop the arms coming down low enough to let the springs move out of place. Front shocks had the bump stops cut down by 2 lumps of rubber. MG Edited by Mr Brick-Yard |

Design 90's come in the following sizes and offsets. 6X16 with 52mm offset 7X16 with 55mm offset 7.5x16 with 65mm offset 8X16 with 52mm offset 9X16 with 52mm offset. The 6's, 7's and 8's (at the back only) will all fit onto the T3 with adaptors of or near 23mm. I ran 16X8's with 52mm with 245/45/16's on my panel van and had no probs with the door clearning. MG |

Just fitted 17" Porsche Sportclassics:
Fronts are 7" with an offset of 52mm Rears are 8.5" with a 50mm offset Tyres are : 255/40/17 on the rear 205/50/17 on the front Adaptors are 22mm These are the perfect size and offset combination (IMHO). I still get a fat rear, but I dont have issues with the sliding door. And the fronts sit perfect with the edge of the arch. |

2001 Boxster rims 7J at the front running 205/50 ZR17 - ET 55
8.5J at the back running 255/45 ZR17 ( I think without double checking) ET 50
Running 25 mm adaptors on a 60mm drop. No issues on the front. At the back the sliding door opens if you manipulate the door manually. I have currently taped the bottom of the door in case I forget. I think if I adjust the slider mechanism, I may get away without a wider hinge. |
