They look terrific. Did they just bolt right on or did make mods?

Added another picture from another angle.
Edited to add: Just remembered that the front and rear fenders had been partially rolled by the previous owner, but he'd done that because he'd also been running with the cars' ride height lowered overall. I've been re-adjusting the ride height higher by small increments since I got the car, but at the time I was doing the test fit, didn't see that there would be any clearance issues.
That said, I don't have a lot of experience with what tire/wheel setups work and which ones don't on various year 928's, so the best I could do for now would be to get back with you with what size tires are on the rims pictured and the sizes of the tires on the rims I'm currently running. I believe both sets are the same sizes (18x8's Front and 18x10's Rear) but will need to double check that.
Edited again to add: For reference, the front tires in the pictures are 235/40-18's, and the rears are 265/40-18's.

1990, and in the picture the wheels were installed with no spacers.Srussell019 wrote: Thanks, they look great. What year is the 928 in the picture? Want to make they will fit mine without modifications.
Appreciated,
