I have an extra set of Virgo 240 Turbo wheels - will they fit my 88 740 GLE?. I
know that my current 740 wheels will fit the early 240 series. I know the Virgos are 15" and I that my Dersus wheels are 14"...

Thanks,
Jerry

    They should fit fine. My wife's 1986 745T had a set on it when we bought it. There might be a brake clearance issue if your car has the big brakes on it, but all 1988s I have seen have the 10.25" rotors.

      I know for a fact that Virgos will not fit our '91 turbo. It has Bendix front brakes, I don't know if that means they are "big brakes" or not. They hit the calipers. Dracos fit fine, however.

    I believe that they will fit your car with no bother. Why, here's a link to a picture of a 1988 745GLE which the proud owner has added Virgos to:
