Default Big Reds...wheel fitment

Will 17" 993 targa's fit over big red's? I know my 17" Fikses track wheels do but...not sure on the 993 OEM wheels.

Its my understanding that every 17" OEM wheel will fit over the big reds. I heard a rumor that there are some OEM 16" wheels that will clear them as well, if anyone can confirm which models I'd be interested.

If the 993 16's will clear them I'll be as happy as a porsche guy can get. They really are my favorite wheel..but I assume they would not fit over 18's.

Big Reds require 17" wheels. Anything larger will fit fine.
