Hey all gti's ,


Rite heres the story ., porsche teledials off the 944 turbo are 16/8 backs and 16/7.5 fronts , rite or wrong ,

the reason for the bigger rears is due to rear wheel drive and power ? rite or wrong ,

for a mk2 golf would it be "safe " to run two seta of fronts at 16/7.5 front and back ?

this would help me alot guys and girls ,

thanks ,

i run porsche d90's, the usual size is 6x16 front and 8x16 rear. Im running 8x16 all round with no problems.

its safe to run but you will need adapters.

Porsche teledials from memory are made in 6", 7", 8" and 9" wide rims, you need to check the offset Porsche made low and high offset the better ones to find are et50 or 55 which with adaptors of say 20mm leaves you around et30.

but it would be safe to run two sets of fronts at the same size on a mk2 golf

Yes no issues at all, many people have done it.

These are not teledials: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Porsche-928-polished-alloy-wheels_W0QQitemZ270427984900QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET?hash=item3ef6c39404&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=65%3A1

But all are 7x16 so must be 2 sets of fronts.
