Question Wheels, will they fit?

Ive seen some 18" wheels on a 928gt for sale, the speedline split rim type.
Does any one know if they will fit?
Sizes 8.5j et52 with 245/35/18 tyres.
All 4 wheels are the same size i think, is this a problem?
I dont think they will go on.

Russ,

Use this calculator to see where the wheels will sit in your arches, it might just be a matter of spacers.http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp

They'll go on - the offsets are OK - but I'm not sure I'd want to. The heavy weight bias towards the rear on a 911 usually demands some extra meat on the rear tyres and I suspect it would be very unbalanced with the same size all round.

Regards

Dave

I would agree with Dave. 911s and boxsters all have wider wheels at the rear than they do at the front. I can't imagine driving one with the same size wheels all round.
