That looks awesome. I really dug your old wheels but these update the car a lot! Looks super clean.

Looks awesome, finish it off the front with some clear side markers.

Paint looks great. Wheels suck but you're lucky as I'll trade you for them.

i took a gamble on the offsets as the person i bought them front didnt really know what they were (he only knew they rubbed on his 996 narrow body)
they are
18X9 in the front w/ 255 35 18 S03's
18X10 in the rear w/ 275 35 18 Pilot Sports
and 1/4 inch spacer front and rear

The 255 fits under the stock front end? Are NA fenders the same as 86 turbo's? I'll pee myself if I can get 255's under the stock front

You don't know the actual offset of the wheels?

I'm planning on getting the same wheels on my car. I'll just subtract the 1/4" from my offset.....If you can tell the your offset.

The car looks awesome! Just a thought here, ever think about clear markers for the sides?
