Porsche Twist Wheels 18" do they fit?
Hello, I have a 1987 Porsche 944 N/A, I was wondering would the Porsche 911 Turbo 2003 Rims fit on my car?? They are 18" and the front is 8 inches wide with a et of 50 and the rear is 11" wide with a et of 45.
Here is the car that they're sopposed to go on! My first sports car!! ;D
thanks again!

They will not fit your car and that dent is pretty bad. Those 11" will only fit early offset, I picked mine up in good shape with tires for $500. You might have better luck buying the wheels from a 996 C4S, same design but they are 18x10 in the rear. You will also need to buy 968 caster blocks ($150) and roll the fenders and quarters.
Oh, nice can can interior!

Maybe you should fix your headlight cover and hood problem first! Haha... kiddingggg....
They're a bit too big; find some smaller ones.

I'm drooling over your interior.

That bend in the rim is a pretty major problem - I think you'd be better off finding slightly smaller rims in better shape. Frankly, I think 11" is too wide for a 944 n/a engine anyway - the extra weight of the wheel will slow you down and the engine doesn't make enough power to need that much grip anyway

Weight is not that much of an issue so long as you are talking about Quality Wheels. For a NA, it can do just fine with big 18"s. Just an issue if you are using something that weighs as much as the engine.
For the 996 Turbo Twists, you want the 10" Rear Wheel.
The further in spec of a Early Offset Car allows for more adjustment to get the fitment right. Although 11" will Rub under hard breaking (Without Rolling Fenders). You can only go so far in due to the bolt for the Spring Plate. 10" is perfect however.
