thanks and good luck dude

i will just have to wait till the rear drum is done to find out then
tyres on them at mo are 225/60 might be abit wide


does anyone know hwere i can get rear drums from to fit porsche wheels???

i think an 8j would go on the rear it just depend what the offset is to get the wheel sitting right in the arch.
what wheels have you got? at those sizes they sound like late 70's fuches. red 9 do a 10mm adapter which save a lot of cost of swapping hubs and drums etc

the wheels are fuch's they are off a 944 that me and the mates stripped on sat
the parts off car were a wedding present promised to me.
i was promised more off it but so called mate got greedy and kept the clocks and other stuff i wanted

fronts are 15x7j rears are 15x8j if they dont fit i will sell or swap for slightly smaller as i really want to fit fuch's as heart is set on them now

[mk2matt]

4.5J are stupid prices and 5.5J are going up too youll need to be fast. A pair of chromed 5.5J in resonable condition will cost you more than £1000, double that for a good pair of 4.5J. the problem is all the resto cal boys are after the same wheels.

was hoping to get the rear suspension too, but he has gone and scrapped the car now :evil:

should have got them when i was last there

does anyone know another way of fitting the rear wheels,other than doing porsche rear brakes
