Default 2001 996TT 18" wheels on 964?
Any chance these will fit on my 964?

I suspect they might be a bit wide up front.

I tried. I failed.

The rears will stick out an obscene amount. Been there done that. I settled on OEM fronts with 10" et47 replica rears. Fit is darn near perfect.

I guess if the stretched/"stances" look is what youre going for its ok. It definitely is not a traditional looking fit. I've had them physically on my car, and know that it would take more camber than otherwise desirable to make the top of the wheel come under the arch. Plus you have to overstretch a 255 or so tire on an 11" wheel.

Do you have a pic going straight down the side of the car? Kinda tough to see the fitment in a 2D photo taken from the side. Thanks!

265 has plenty of room to spare with 10ET40 .. about 10mm on inside and out 15mm to fender on outside (with slightly flared fender).

Would love to see a shot from straight on fom the rear. I would think that ride height would also play a factor. I personally like the Koya 's that were previously on the car

Just a question, you say darn near perfect. - What would you do different? + or - offset wise?
