Hi guys just a question, will 18" Ruf wheels 8.5 front and 10 rear fit a 993 narrow body??

Thanks for the help!

Joris,

I have that on my RUF now. Although RUF did flare the rear fenders slightly to assure clearance. My RUF started life as a narrow body 95 993 C2.

Mine are the OZ five-spoke RUF wheels, in case there's more than one selection. They are flat front with no lips.

If they are of the right offset, they will.

8.5" - ET58
10" - ET66

yes.
fronts -the front fenders are the same on all of the 993s; so fitment should not be a problem. the 8.5 inch wide ruf wheels do come very close to touching the spring though. (about 1/8th inch on mine). my 225 SO-2s look a little narrow on the wheels. will probably go to 235s next time.

rear -the rear wheels already have the correct offset for the narrow body. when you purchase a set of ruf wheels for a widebody, they ship with Ruf spacers (about 21-23 mm if i remember correctly).

Viken is right, as usual.

I forgot to mention that I have spacers up-front.

Thanks guys for all the help!

I have been looking at the Ruf site @ Weissach.com, but couldn't find the the ruf wheels that I spoke of. Anybody familiar with these wheels?

Joris, the above wheel looks like the Ruf wheel for the 964s. They were made by Speedline (the Ruf wheels like mine and CP's are made by OZ). I think they were made in 17 and 18 inch diameters. I have seen a Ruf released picture of these wheels on a 993 when the 993s first came out (and before the OZ wheels were released).
So, if the wheels have the offset that Viken mentioned above, they will fit.
