Hello... all I have been thinkin/dreaming of putting 17 inch porsche rims on my 84 Westfalia. Any list members done this? Is machine work and/or spacers required to make em fit? I recall somewhere that the sliding door clearence may be an issue if too wide a tire/rim is used. Clearence for full steering rotation? What about load rating/sidewall issues using car tires, if they are low profile? any and all info appreciated... I am currently searching for wrecker porsche cup 2 alloys, ideas, sources, alternatives... David Johnson 84 Westfalia Vanderhoof BC Canada |
