OEM Speedline
I've got a chance to buy a set of the original Speedline used on the 968 turbo...8.5 x 18 and 10 x 18. New in boxes from Porsche!
I'm currently running 11 x 18 on the rear, with 315/30/18 R6 Hoosiers, and during the PCA club race this weekend I was brought in to the pits because of tire rub.
My thought is that with the smaller Speedlines, I won't have that problem. Does anybody know what the correct tire size combination for these rims are?
If they don't work out, I may sell them though.
Would there be any interest from the members if I decide to sell?

optional hollow spoke technologys for the narrow body 993 Carrera are both cheaper and lighter. I have a set on my car, no spacers, no rubbing.
All the wheels that i like better then my wheels are heavier, so i refuse to buy them. 964 Turbo 3.6 Speedlines, Ruf Classics (really heavy), and BBS LM's.

Jason, the wheels are 8.5X18 & 10X18. I just swapped tires and went smaller. Was running 285/35 18's out back & 225/45 18's up front (michelin pilot sports)...oem sizes for the 993. now i'm running 265/35 18's out back (same size up front)..michelin pilot cup's. less patch but stickier tires. My car is lowered 1" up front & 3/4" in the rear.

Sounds too narrow for me...I really like my 275/35/18 and 315/30/18 setup...maybe I'll just try to get my fender rolled a little bit in the rear.
Anybody want the Speedlines...$5,750.

They're rubbing on the outside, on the Driver's Side only...during compression, like on hard right hand turns.
That's why I think I can maybe get away with not having to buy the Speedlines; and rolling the one fender.

After some informed research, I'm passing on the Speedlines. I've also been told that they can be had for less than the $5,750 that I was being asked to pay.
So, needless to say...I'm passing on them, too.
