WTB: One Carrera Lightweight 5-spoke Wheel
I need to replace one of the rear wheels, just need to verify the size.
I believe they are 18 x 10? Can you confirm?
Also while I'm at it, what is the widest tire that can fit a rear GTS wheel? I think it is 305 but want to be sure.
I'm looking to install a set of tires with an aggressive directional pattern as shown in the attachment. Any suggestions?
Thanks all

Looking for one 18 x 10 wheel in excellent condition.
I will also take a look on eBay.
Please post here or send me a PM.

I think you have the Carrera II 5-spoke wheels, from the 2002 996. Fronts are 8x18 ET 50, rears are 18x10 ET 65. On my GTS with stock 38 mm spacer and 295-30R18's on an 18x10 ET 58, I had about 43 mm of clearance on the front of the LCA and plenty of space outboard. So with 18x10 ET 65 you'd be 7 mm inboard of where I was. Plenty of room, I think you could go to a 305, though that's bordering on too much tire on a 10 inch rim.

I think I have an extra pair of rears in my warehouse. I had these on my S4 before the BBS.
I wouldn't go more than 295/30 on them, I agree with Rob that it's too much tire for a 10" rim.
I can check and see if the set is still there if you are still interested.
