So you've picked Cup IIs top and Turbo Twists at the bottom. Those middle wheels are 997 wheels or Cayman wheels. Turbo Twsits are not found in the right offsets. Cup IIs are hard to find.

Let me suggest that what you want are Cayman S or Panamera wheels. There are a lot of styles and variants. Go for 18" wheels with 8" wide in front and 9" wide in back. The fronts should have an offset of about 57mm from both cars.

People can want a lot of money for Real Porsche Wheels. If you shop patiently you should be able to find a set of wheels for $500 to $750. The tires from a Cayman will work on the car but Panamera tires do not.

Search Rennlist for pictures of Panamera and Cayman wheels and the related tire discussions. These have become the "go to" solution for a low-cost update to looks and to going wider/taller.

Getting onto winter in the NE so no hurry on a nice set of wheels. Make it over to one of the upcoming fall 2017 events and you'll see plenty of wheels. If you can't wait, check your local PCA fall get togethers right in your area. Many of the wheels on 944, 996, 997's look the same wheels but with different offsets. T

We're trying to figure out if these Moda's will fit this car well.
They're currently shown on an 82 (no rear spacers).
The original poster's 84 has the rear spacers, correct? If so, it will be tight but appears to clear.
Thoughts on this fitment on an 84?
(front)
18x8.5 et 54mm
225/40-18
(rear)
18x10 et 58mm
265/35-18
