This is a feeler to sort of see what my options are/what people have available. Like the title says I was looking for a range of sizes but I've changed my mind, I'm only interested in either a set of 18x9 993TT/Boxster rear twists, or 18x8.5 996TT fronts. I'm ok with OEM or replicas.

What wheels do you have now?

Dougs951S

OEM 18x7.5 ET50 in front and 18x10 ET65 in the back, with 25mm and 32mm spacers respectively on an early offset car. I want some more rubber in the front though, 18x9 993 wheels would be easy.

Edit: I actually just thought about it and I'm only interested in 18x9's. My logic is that an 18x10 is a lot harder to fit up front and wont give me much more rubber. I'd run a 255 on the 9 and maybe a 265 on the 10, so not worth the hassle or the weight.

How much rubber could be tucked under stock rear on 18x11 rim? 285?

Dougs951S

Typically a 295-30 as its within ~1% of the stock rear size. I'm running a 265/35 right now on my 10's with room for more rubber on both the car and the wheel. If I keep these rears my next set will be 285/30. I bet with the right alignment/wheel ET/fender rolling you could tuck a 305 under the stock rear fenders on an 11" rim.

OEM 993 18 inch twist did not come in 9x18

Dougs951S

OEM 993 TT rear wheels, 18x9 ET52. factory part number 993 362 138 01.

Edit: sorry that is indeed a boxster wheel, factory 986S rears it appears.

I have a pair of 18x8 ET52 OEM hollows (P/N 993 362 136 00) available. I was running these on the front of my 951 track car with 255/35-18 Hoosiers, with no issues. The wheels have a chrome finish, and I have used them for the last two track seasons. Selling them cheap for $300+shipping for the pair.

I also have a pair of 18x10 ET65 OEM hollow wheels available for sale. These are painted silver. Selling the 18x10 for $650+shipping for the pair.

Yes those are solid Boxster not hollow 993 which only came in 8 or 10 x 18

Have you browsed http://www.allfactorywheels.com/bran...?sort=priceasc ?

So I should theoretically be able to run 295 or even 305 on the rear and 255 on the front with 18x11 rear and 18x8 front.



This is interesting.. Didnt know width varies so much between brands..

I have a set of Boxster twist wheels that were chromed but the chrome is delaminating. I will be at the track this weekend, let me know if you want to bring them up and you can look at them. Selling for a friend.

Depending on wheel spacing the 305s can get a little tight but will fit. 255s in front require a little fender rolling.

OK if you're all going to hawk your wheels I have to throw mine in as well.
I just got another set of wheels for my car, so I'm selling my current wheels, too.
Ft is 19x8.5 ET45 with 235/35 Hankook EVO V12 tires
Rear 19x10.5 ET55 with Hankook EVO V12 275/30 tires.
fits great, looks great!
