That chart was from Porsche.
Yes. I know. I knew that when I wrote that it was feces and I stand by what I wrote and will double down: do not trust current Porsche "literature" for correct information as it pertains to 928s. The original literature - much of it originally on paper and microfiche - is much-more correct but still has some errors.

They had tables for 'approved' tires for their vehicles.
And the tire sizes are right. However, this was about wheels and that chart is basically so wrong as to be useless.

Otherwise, it looks to be good information
Do I detect grudging acceptance?
Are opinions no longer allowed? That's where this all started.
I'm not sure I if I hit a nerve with you - but you seem to be taking this pretty hard.
Opinions are, of course, allowed. I asked you and maddog to explain and defend your opinion. maddog did. You didn't. I then provided more information and even pointed you in the right direction. You still refused to explain or defend your position. And it then became apparent that you hadn't even read what I posted, doubled down on your opinion and ended your post with "bring it."
You reached for a nerve and you found one.
Have you also determined the answer to your question that opened this thread?
If you are attempting to point the finger at me - no sale. The information I provided as it relates to measuring wheels and determining offset was totally valid. If my reply back, to his claim that I was wrong and didn't know what I was talking about, drove him away - that is fully on him. If you can't stand and support your position, maybe you
should run and hide.
I will apologize to you, for my 'bring it' line. That was wrong. And you are correct; had I taken the time to fully read your earlier post that described the offset figures, I would not have made that statement.
Regarding the table you provided a link to: I accept it as good information. There's no grudge there. It is more detailed and provides other options beyond what is provided in the Porsche table. However, I am not seeing where the Porsche table differs from the one you prefer. The wheel dimensions and offset numbers match your table (and vice versa). Exceptions include your listing of a 15" wheel and the Club Sport wheel.
Regarding the defense of my opinion. Maddog and I traded a few PMs on the matter of those wheels. Whether you want to trust me, on this, is your call. This information along with my interpretation of what I saw in the photo helped to form my opinion. I still contend that a trial fit would have avoided all confusion.
I have nothing against you. I respect your knowledge and experience with these cars. We got off on the wrong foot here. Should we ever meet in person, the first few rounds are on me.
