My '96 993 C2 came with an extra set of turbo twist wheels (that need refinishing). The fronts are model number 993.362.134.06 and rears are 993.362.140.04. Does anyone know if these are plug and play on my narrow body? Also, if so, tire recommendations would be much appreciated. Thanks.

Those are Turbo Look I front is 7.5x18 ET50 rear is 10x18 ET65

front is narrowish, and sits inboard a bit too much but could be used on a n/b. 8ET52 is the more usual fit
rear is a stock 993n/b fitment

tires would be 225/45 & 265/35 x18

Yes those wheels are plug and play. The 993.362.134.06 is a solid Turbo Twist wheel 7.5 x 18 with an offset of 50. The 993.362.140.04 is a Solid Turbo Twist wheel 10 x 18 with an offset of 65. A 5 mm spacer can be added to front but not needed. tire size in the front 225/40 18 and rear you could use 275/35 18. Here are some helpful links;

At best that chart is misleading, tire fitment wrt a given wheel depends on the wheel OD & width and the tire, width and profile. Ideal fitment is goal dependant.

for say a 225/40 x18 a wheel from 7.5 to 9 is generally specified, for best performance the 9 is wanted, for best comfort the 7.5 is wanted

Thanks for the replies. They are much appreciated.

Remember. whilst the 7.5" rim will 'fit', it was never factory specified for use on a 993 - those are early 996 fitment. All 993's running 18's only had 8" fronts using 225/45 section tyres.
