Here are some pics upon request the first 2 are w/the 17" turbotwists and the last 3 are the 18" 996 turbo wheels.

Judging by the third picture, it is pretty clear that you will not be able to lower your car because the wheel/tire will hit the fender. You can put a 18x15 on if you do not lower the car but that doesn't mean it works.

Without a custom offset wheel like a HRE or Kinesis or similar, the widest you can go and safely tuck is a 10" wheel.

Those rear wheels are just huge. Man. That's a lot of rubber.

Don't know about you guys but I think that those wheels really are to big for a NB 964. I think that just lowering the car with 18" wheels would have looked cleaner and nicer.
The handling of the car just can't be good with those rubbers.
Just my 2c

I will deffinately have to agree. It is to much and lowering the car is way out of the question. Even with the 17x10's there was no way I could lower it because those tires were already scrubbing at stock hieght, but this could have been resolved with smaller tire sizes. Another negative point to the 18 x 11's other than asthetics is the handling. The car pushes ( too much rubber on the rear) during accelaration out of the turn. The 17x10's were not as bad but I think the extra sidewall hieght is what helped them.

Duncan,
Did you get new tags for the car?????? Or are you tricking us with different vehicles???????

Dunasso

Jeremy,
ha,HA,haha, LOL That's a really innteresting observation you've made there. Yes the tags have been changed. I found it to be more difficult for people to remember than the personalized tag. Like most of us I'm sure, I do my fare share of speeding. Unfortunately there are others who would love to see a Porsche with a cop car behind it. I've actually been pulled as far as 2 counties after the one someone saw me speeding in. This has happened 3-4 times in the 5years I've had this car, and everytime the cop says, the tag gave you away. Beleive it or not some people do not even know what a Porsche is, but they could remember that DAMN TAG. So, I changed it.
OH, sorry if I disappointed you, but no tricks.
