Default width of 17" 968 wheels & interchangeable 964 or 993 wheels

width of 17" 968 wheels & interchangeable 964 or 993 wheels

I don't know if the 968 had a 17" wheel option that had same-size front and rear wheels, but I am ONLY interested in the staggered size wheels that came on the 968 with the M030 suspension package. What are the exact widths of those OEM 17" wheels? It is 17x9 rear, but is it 17x7 or 17x7.5 front? I had a debate with a Porsche parts outlet about this today.

Secondly, do you know (I mean really know) if there are any 17" 993 or 964 OEM wheels that have the same front and rear widths as those staggered 968 wheels, and are also within +/- 5mm offset? I got inconclusive info on this.

Thanks for any help you can provide!

They were exactly 17x7.5 front and 17x9 rear. With 225 tires on the front and 255s on the back.

Parts numbers for the 17 968 wheels are :

7.5 x 17 (front) :
92-93 : 965 362 124 05
94-95 : 993 362 124 05 61M

9 x 17 (rear) :
92-93 : 965 362 128 00
94-95 : 993 362 128 00 61M

8 x 17 (rear winter) :
92-95 : 965 362 126 01

I got these numbers off a parts-list PDF that's been floating around. I'm not sure of its provenance. I have the 16" wheels on my 968, so I can't verify these against a car. Presumably there are 911/965s and 911/993s with the same wheels.
