Currently looking at buying some porsche fuch wheels for my
ever increasing split project.
Just researching if anyone out there knows whether genuine
6*17's would fit the front??? (with low profiles of course)
and 7*17's would fit the rear????
If this can't be answered does anyone know what size
wheel tyre combo fits under comfortably??
PS the car will be llowered with adjusters
Thanx Ross

ross. i have aftermarket chrome 17x7.5s all round. but the fron of my bus is lowered with a 2"narrowed beam. 205/45 upfront and 215/45 on the rear.

AAAHHHHH cool stuff!!!!!!!! love to see it got any pics???
you reckon shortening the beam is essential??
ah, yep. have no choice as i wnated the big rims, so i had to get the beam narrowed, you probably would to for that width. i used to scrub out b4 witht he 15s. i also have a four wheel disc brake conversion from CBB. i got heaps of pics. but i am not on my computer, so i cant post em. but i am sure you can look em up in members rides. or wait till tomorrow night.
i am hoping to do the same set up on the dcab.
