Does anyone know if these will fit on the front of our cars? Will they also fit on a 18x8 rim; or do you need an 18x9?

Second question, will 993 turbo twist wheels fit on out cars, or do you need spacers?

I have a set of Wide body 993TT wheels. They do fit but are too wide. Max tire you can fit is a 265. These are the ET40 offset. The narrow body ET 65 will fit with a slight spacer and are a better choice. The 245 will fit on the 8 but your rolling radius will be too great.

Thanks for the info; on eBay there were a set of hoosiers and I have a buddy who has a set of turbo twists.... I was hoping to fit them together, but sounds like they are too big for the car. Oh well... Thanks Anthony

Cobalt is right. I have a set of 993TT hollowspokes that I use on my 92 965. The 265s rub just a tiny bit even after rolling the fenders.
