Default WTB speedlines or similar for 968- widest offset like RS turbo is?

Looking for a set of 3.6 speedlines or RH for 968. Hope they fit up and look as good as they do on my 930. Anyone know what size - offset the factory turbos had on them. Thats the look I am going for.

Or - what is the widest that will fit?

Here is what RH says will stuff in. Anyone confirm. The RH I bought for my 930 are perfect but these seem wide for 968.... thoughts.

Front
Size Offset Finish Bolt Pattern List Price
18 x 8.0 52 Silver w. Polished lip 5 x 130.00 $999.00
18 x 8.5 59 Silver w. Polished lip 5 x 130.00 $1,019.00


Rear
Size Offset Finish Bolt Pattern List Price
18 x 10.0 54 Silver w. Polished lip 5 x 130.00 $1,079.00



Cheers, Mike

RS turbo ran 10"front 11"rear, don't know the offset but usually 53-60 will be close, but cars can be different and neg camber has some influence.

Maybe Steve will chime in, he was thinking of selling his RH 3.6 from one of his 968s.

My old ones are/were for sale

The fronts are 18X8 52mm offset 225-40-18 the rears are 18X10 with a 54mm offset with 285-30-18

Mike,
I've seen as wide as 8.5" wheels on the front of a 968. As already mentioned above, negative camber is necessary to get them to fit w/o rubbing.

Default Big wheels

I have Kinesis K58 9.5"/265-35-18 up front and 11"/295-30-18 rear with no rub. You will need 2.5" coil overs up front for the 9.5" to clear. I would have to check the offset/back spacing.

Porsche Speedline 3.6 turbo wheels.
Front Offset:52x8
Rear Offset: 61x10
I have added 5mm spacers to fill them further in the back.

Not a bad price- 1K off, still makes you pucker- 5K wheels and tires on a 12K car....

Oh well, I didn't flinch on the fiskes for the cab.....

Mark, can you shhot me a pic with those on a car? Good for perspective, as mentioned the RS pics look badass but if they are wider I'd be interested in looking at a pic with more pratical sizes and see if it is really noticable.

Paul, Great look, really fills out the wells and sets the car off!!

BTW, your spoiler looks more pronounced- extensions on stock?

Thanks. Its a standard spoiler, its probably just the angle of the photo that makes it look pronounced.

Veloce wheels are a lower cost alternative, had them on my Coupe -
