WTB wheels for 911 S

[Paul-HB]

I'm in a bit of a dilemma. I have a '67 that has SC brakes so 4-1/2s won't fit...So, I'm open to suggestions of other wheels to put on the car that might be available.

Thanks

Deep 6s or flat 6s ... or 1968 15X5.5s if you can find them.

Paul if I'm understanding you correctly the offset of the 4 1/5" wheel sets too close onto the hub and has interference with the SC caliper, is this correct?

If it is, the hub would change to a corresponding later style from 1967S or 1969 vented rotor hub. (Or longer studs and spacers would be a work-around).

I think the offset of the 4.5 and 6" wheels have the same offset. Here is 4.5" steel wheels on the car with vented front rotors with no clearance problems.

Hubs:

Hi Bob,

When I put a 4.5" wheel on the car, the caliper hits the wheel...it isn't even close to fitting...not sure what the hub is, but when I get it back from paint, I'm going to check.

Thanks for the explanation...very helpful.

(sorry - here is the rest of that message).
The 3rd from the left is the hub you can use - with a 47mm hub depth - it's standard from 1969 on. It will move the wheel out for caliper clearance.

Here is a 1965 with vented front rotors, 47mm hubs and stock 4.5 steel wheels. (7mm rear spacers are fitted to push out the rears to somewhat the same track width).

Here is a picture of the car on 7x15s currently...
