Porsche cars are typically not the subject of such modifications. So, if someone did do one, it would be unique... and quite expensive considering the fabrication required (see my estimate). The only Porsche that I could find in a quick Google search with 30" wheels was a Cayenne. Unless you just like setting fire to money, it's best to start with a salvage title car for this kind of thing, because it will make the car less than worthless.

Like most here, that type of car mod isn't my thing but if it is yours, you will have much better luck asking a shop that does this type of mods to a variety of cars (like the BMW posted by detansinn above) than by asking here where most people don't mod or do traditional, limited/performance mods. Those shops may be unfamiliar with the 992 specifically, but I'm sure they're used to figuring it out on new car types.

WTF are rims??? Oh you mean wheels. It would be nice to learn technical terminology if you want anyone to take you seriously on a "technical" forum.

This guy gets it. Nobody does this for a 911 and such a thing doesn't exist. Good idea with the salvage title

I should probably let you know that I originally planned doing this to a used Huracan, but thought the 911 might be a better alternative.
