That is a good deal but you will need 993 tie rod ends as well to make these work.
Also, 993 front end increases the front track thereby bringing the wheels out about 3/4” per side. This very much limits the options of aftermarket wheels because they will stick out past the fenders.
I have this same setup on my 964 and can’t even tell you the amount of times i have been disappointed by trying different wheels only to find out they stick out too far.
Unless you have custom, high offset wheels made to fit your car you will have to stick to stock cup 1’s or cup 2’s or some other >55mm offset front wheels. For example, i run a set of oem 7.5” 65mm offset cup 1’s with 225/40/17 nitto nt01’s on front for track duty. Not much else fits.
Not trying to be a downer but these are the facts when putting 993 front end on 964. I have the same setup and am generally very happy with it but if you want to run off the shelf aftermarket wheels you will have your work cut out for you.

I thought it is the longitudinals that increase the track - not the control arms. Does your car have those as well or just 993 arms?

Yes this is correct AFAIK it is the longitudinals that push out the front an additional 12.5mm. I am using this setup on my WB track car. I did need to make spacers to fit sway bars to work properly because of the longitudinals.

Come to think of it, yes you are correct. My car also has the longitudinal on it which is why my wheels stick out

Did you consider using a 993 sway bar? Would that solve your problem without the need for spacers?
I have a set of early piston and cylinders from a 1990 c2 with 22000 miles, just as removed , not cleaned, pistons in their respective bores. 550 dollars includes shipping,
965 Turbo Guages OEM original silver face and silver outer ring but painted outer ring in black / These work in a 964 and the display lights up it will tell you trip meter & says BAR but obviously stays at 0 for that. All tested and working except the odometer, you will have to get the gear fixed. These are OEM so the lighting at night is NOT botchy .
$1250 OBO Shipped for the full set
OEM 965 Turbo cup 1 wheels Black with newer tires (local pickup only please in Long Beach, CA 90803)
17x7 offset ET 55
17x9 offset ET 55
I've been kind of on the fence about selling these but what the hell.
17x7 and 17x8 OEM Cup 1 wheels. Colored crest center caps. N spec (Porsche spec) Michelin PS2 front and rear tires, approximately 9k miles on them. Fronts are in extremely good shape, I'd wager they have about 75% tread left. Rears are the same, but definitely closer to 40-50% tread life left.
I don't have pics of all 4 off the car, but I will get better shots this week.
Lets start with asking $3800 obo and go from there.

The 993 uses either the 964 part or the WB uses a maximum of 22mm none adjustable. I am running RS adjustable bars. I could use the turbo front bar but it would be a smaller dia.

This is a great deal. The tires appear to be from 2016 so still good and the center caps are proper for the 964 and NLA from Porsche.
I sold a set like this not long ago with the hub caps and no tires for $4200. You can always touch up the missing red paint on the center caps.
