Thread: what American car rims will fit to roll 911 ?

  1. #1

    what American car rims will fit to roll 911 ?

    Hi

    are there any American car rims I can put on a 911 to roll it ?

    even if I need to get the die grinder out a bit and move the hole in or out ,

    I just need something to roll the car , not drive it anywhere

    Any ideas ?

    thanks

    Dave

    I don't know of any wheels other than porsche wheels that will fit the porsche pattern. This is what I did and it's just a suggestion if you can't find anything else. Bought a set of phone dial wheels and tires for $175, used them to move my car here and there for about 8 months and then sold them for $150. Even though it'll cost you some out of pocket money initally, you can get most of it back once you're done using them.

    Here is a pic of the phone dials

    I can tell you for sure that MoPar/Ford and GM will not fit by a long shot. I haven't tried the Ford truck 5 on 5" yet.

    Gone back to my MoPar roots!

    This is what the body shop guys used to wheel my car around while I sent the deep sixes away for renovation.
    Either cookies or space savers.


    Cheers,
