I doubt they would fit. I know I certainly can't put my 993 wheels on my 964. The offsets in the rear are WAY off. The rims hit the control arms well before they met the hub.

They gave this as the offsets. These won't work?

18" Carrera S wheels. Sized (2)18x8et 50mm and (2)18x10et 65mm for narrow body cars. We also have these in 18x10 et47mm for Boxsters.

964's are typically 50 in the front and 55 in the rear (mine is anway). The 65 offset 18's that I tried to toss on my NB 90' C2 964 clearly would not fit due to contact with the trailing (lower control) arm.

I would have been happy if they had.. but no luck, at least for me.

EDIT: I'd imagine (I don't know for sure) that the 47's will fit, at least from the standpoint of not hitting suspension parts. If they will clear the outter wheel-well I don't know. I'm sure someone else will chime in here...

47's will indeed work as I have my 18 x 10s in ET47 and fronts 18 x 8 in ET48...see the avatar pic for the wheels. A little rubbing up front at right full lock and none at the back even under full load

Put a 17-21mm spacer in the rear, to reduce offset so they will fit. 5mm spacer up front if you want to make sure no rubbing

ET65 can be made to work on the rears
FYI... the Cup I 9.5 wheel is ET67 with a 20mm spacer
you must use longer studs for the rears

My 18" rears are ET65 and work well with a 21 mm spacer.

Are those aftermarket?...i thought they were all 19's....and yes ET 65 work fine. I'm running w/15mm spacers w/the 21 you need to run more neg camber than I wanted to, but it does fill out the wheel well better at 21.

Taken from the add:

thanks for the advise guys.

I am looking for a new set of wheels just for this summer. I want to sell the cup 2's that are on the car now. Car should be here in a day or 2.

The car will be going turbo widebody next winter and I will be selling those wheels as well.

I will be going with a set of cargraphic 19" deepdished once the car is widebodied.

Where should I get the spacers and longer wheel studs?

Thanks
Jeff
