Well, I snagged me up some of these:

Porsche Comp 18":



I know I'm definitly going to need spacers. I'm just unsure as to how much to have.

Here's the specs of the wheels:
Size (front) 18x8.5
Size (rear) 18x10
Offset 52MM

My set-up:
87 Porsche 944T calipers and rotor
Machined hub/spindle from VDub (not done yet)
86 944T Rear control arms, hubs, etc.....

I also know I'm going to need widened fenders, which I plan on getting/doing along with the conversion.

Yeah, I know, I know...heavy, large wheels. I'm not worried about speed or power loss right now as the motor is the last thing I'm worried about. I just want to get my handling to TOP shape. But I don't think those wheels are too heavy compared to 17's like Turbo Twists, Boxters, Cups....I just can't see it weighing too much more considering it's not a one piece of forged material....but I could be wrong....

Anybody know what size spacers I'll need? Or what other route can I go without needing spacers? Also, what size tires am I going to need to keep the stock tire height?
