Hi all,

Question. Does anyone have a picture of Fiske FM/5 Wheels on 993 and does anyone have experience with them on a 96 TT.

I’m think of purchasing a set for my car and I’m not sure I’m going to get the look that I trying for. Also, Fiske recommends the (18X8) & (18X10) is this the standard size for the TT I thought stock was (18X9) & (18X11), if not what are the drawback from increasing to the larger wheels.

Thanks for any help.

Stock for the 993TT is 18x8 and 18x10.

Jim, here's a picture of FM5's, from a distance. They're great looking wheels...

P.S. It's the Arctic Silver car that they're on.

Jim,

There's also a pic of the FM5's on the last (or second to last) issue of Excellence, I believe. It's actually a blue early 1970's 911, not a 993, but it is helpful.

I also love these wheels, and am considering getting 18x8.5 and 18x10.5 to hold 245 and 285 tires, respectively.

Lots of nice finishes, as well, for the centers, including race satin anodized.

Jim,
I'll email you a shot of my '95 993 with the Fikse FM5's in sizes 18x8 and 18x10. I have installed the Bilstein PSS-9 suspension since this picture was taken and the fit (offset, clearance and look) is second to none. The guys at Fikse seem to be very sharp and I would trust their recommendations.

Hi Anir

I got my copy of Excellence and that was what prompted my interest. Though the offsets on the 993TT are different and you don’t get the depth that you get on the older 911. Does anyone know what the actual difference in inches is. They stated the following: Our 8.0x18 front wheels for your car will have approx 1" outer rim depth, and the 10.0x18 rears will have approx 2.5" outer rim depth. What are the outer rim depths in on the rims on that car in Excellence?

Thanks

Anir

Jim,

Good point about the different / deeper look on the older 911s.

Here's some more pics on a 964:
