I am pretty sure he quoted one of the current Bridgestone models as the target for the correct 16" tires for the back end.

These look like a good deal for 18's.

Nice looking wheels but- surprise surprise- ET52 front- try fitting anything wider than a 225 on that and I reckon you will be turning shoulder rubber on the fender. Pity as a 8.5 inch front on 18 diameter will take a 235 and possibly a 245 section.

Same old story I am afraid.

This picture of my '91 $$$$4 has the early 10-spoke 18" Panamera wheels. (8 1/2" front and 10" rear) The offsets are excellent and I believe, substantially updates the style of the 928 over stock 16" wheels. I have been pleased with the wheels ($600) and the comfort and performance of the Hankook tires I bought for them. Either way, buying new (and expensive) tires for 16" wheels (which many consider an out-dated appearance) really does not upgrade your 928........unless you are restoring or maintaining a "factory look" for the very improbable increase in value that you might find in the future. At least go to 17". Just sayin.....
