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...
