I'll just change the topic to "8.5 wheel offset on a super.." Thanks for the recommendation :agree:
Went around tell me if this sounds right....

Allows the mounting of huge 16 and 17 inch diameter deep offset rims. New 80mm springs give MAXXimum clearance, and MAXXimum handling for your Super! With this new strut, you can fit up to 7 inch rims under your stock fender! Our current test car is fitted with Toyo 205/40-17 tires front, and 235/45-17 tires in the rear. It's a close tolerance fit, but it works!

Your installation will require carefull planning, as the kit will only work with rims with 5 1/2 to 6 inch back spacing (approximately 50 to 55mm offset). Longer wheel studs and wheel spacers will probably be necessary.

So, with that said. The stock hubs machined from Vdub increases your offset +2mm per side. I talked to Lanner and he said with the billet hub, it increases it further by +.50 to .60 per side.
So, if I can fit a 7 inch tire under a stock fender with stock drum brakes, with the Machined Porsche kit OR billet hub conversion, a 2in fender kit with Maxx struts should be fine with a 8.5 inch front rim..it'll be nice and flush.
It's only a 1.5 inch wheel width increase(and still mantaining a 52mm offset), as even with the billet hub adding 2.6mm of total track width, that's still only 7/64ths of an inch....
So:
Maxx struts + 8.5inch rim = 2in (2.5 at the very most) fender required lol
Unless, my captian obvious math is all jacked, lol
Now...should be fun getting all this ordered....
