Default 993 Targa Wheels will they fit NB 964?

Will the 993 OEM Targa wheels 17x7 and 17x9 both with 55 offsets fit the NB 964? Any mods needed to make them fit?

Thanks - Mark

How much did lower your car? When you lowered the car, with these wheel sizes, did you have to roll your fenders?

With those offsets there should not be any problem regardless of rideheight...

My car was lowered an inch and a half... No rolled fenders... Christer is right... You shouldn't have to do anything.

Flach; did you get the wheels? I may not have seen the post, and would have shown you mine. It's lowered now, but has the 993 targe wheels on it.

I'm using them too. I got rubbing on the front inner wing and rubbing against inner the oil feeder pipe - so have used 5mm spacers which solved it.

My C4 is lowered to RS spec with Roock Racing Suspension.

Those wheels do look really good on 964s.

I have are 02 OEM 996 10 spoke Targa
modular type. Take offs. in like new condition. Tires
are Conti sportcontacts 2 Ns and also are in perfect condition and you can have them for free.
They have factory balance . Less than 5kmi.
17x7 f offset 50 et 17x 9 R 55et
this is late offset I believe will fit post 86 944. and other cars
I will include oem centercaps should fit your car fine.

The last picture is someone else's car I hope he dosn't mind that I lifted it to show a 964 with this set up.
