Also, I went to that wheel calculator thing stickied in the top[ of this forum. I have no Idea the offset/size of Empi 8spokes, so I guessed:

Quote:
Current Wheel Width 6 inches Current Wheel Offset 45mm
New Wheel Width 8.5 inches New Wheel Offset 52 mm

Your new wheel will have the following chracteristics:
The clearance from stut housing to the inside of the wheel will be 39mm LESS
The outside edge of the wheel will EXTEND an extra 25mm
Even still with those calculation of a probably wrong figure on my current wheels, a stock super coil is 123mm. Maxx struts coils are 80mm...that's a 43mm gain...that's more than the 39 required...

That also doesn't account for the increase that the 944T brakes give....

Maybe I'm wrong, but I dunno how a 52mm offset is different on 7 inch wheel than it is on a 8.5 inch wheel...it's still 52mm offset from the inside lip...

So...I wouldn't need a spacer...just wider fenders.......right?
