Default Will an 8.5 wheel fit a 94 90CS?

Found a great deal on a set of TSW Hockenheim-R wheels. They are 4 X 108 and have a 40 offset but are 17 X 8.5 wide. Anyone know if I can still use them?

Default I didn't understand was that a question or a statement?....

meaning, "they will fit with a 40 offset" or "are they a 40 offset".

My concern is even with a positive offset of 40 mm there still will be that extra 1 to 1.5 inches at the back of the wheel. They will clear the fender but will they clear at the inside?

Default Probably, depend also on a tire you'll be using...look at those Alessio wheels...

they have the same style but you would have to call them for prices....look at my post further down

Default Nice but....

The TSW wheels are new in the box, tires never mounted and I talked the guy down to $375.00US. If they'll fit I can't pass them up.

Default Re: Nice but....

If they rub you can just pop some wheel spacers in there..... I don't think they'd hit the fender but might rubb on the inside... ?
