Thanks Joe!

do they need the spacers with the built in studs

kdfwagen

thats what I have now. not sure if they need them.

You're welcome KD
That's the easiest solution. The alternative is spacers which sandwich between the wheels and hubs and require you to replace the Factory studs with longer ones. Not a diy job unless you own or have access to a machine press and very well-equipped garage.

I agree with Joey BagaD's comment. 17" Cup II's are lighter and look so much better than those 16's.....IMHO.....

I prefer the 17 Cup 1's on a 964, and prefer the Cup 2's on 993's.

joey bagadonuts

... says the purist sporting awesome 993 Supercups on his 968 They look great, btw!

I guess we can all agree that it comes down to personal preference. As long as they fit and perform and you like how they look, it's all good.

kboustani

do ypu have to use spacers all around with the 16s

joey bagadonuts

It depends on the specific wheel. In this case, we're assessing a Porsche 993 7 x 16 front wheel with 55mm offsets. In this case, spacers would not be necessary.

You should look for wheels with offsets between 52-55mm front and rear, otherwise, you may need spacers.

kdfwagen

bought them today and they look great, but I havent mounted them yet. Turns out the rear is 16x9 70mm offset.... sure hope it fits... front will fit fine @ 16x7 55mm offset. BTW- are the rear fenders on 964 pretty easy to roll?

Damian in NJ

You've got me there. Here's a closer view, and the Cup 2's I had on my old slate grey coupe. For the record the Turbo 3.6 Speedlines would be my top choice on a 964.

joey bagadonuts

Ditto!

kboustani

the back 16s have an offset of 70 .will i need spacers in the back.993 wheels

kdfwagen

yes, it will rub on the inside (oil lines etc..).

joey bagadonuts

kboustani- Please see the link attached. You will find more information about Porsche wheels which will fit without the need for spacers.
