Default 18" Factory Wheels on Narrow-body 993

Which 993 and 996 factory 18" wheels will fit on a narrow-body 993? And what size are the tires?

Please feel free to post pics of your narrow-body 993 with 18" factory wheels.

Thanks!
William

When you say 18" factory wheels, are you talking about the turbo twists?

If so, here are the 18" hollow spoke...

Here is mine, solid spokes with Yokohama AVS tires. 285/30 will fit on most cars and 265/35 will definitely fit. I forgot the offsets, but they have to be for a narrow body. The rears vary, but I think narrow body is 65mm. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Bridgestones S0'2: Front 225/40/18
Rear 265/35/18

Great ride, improves handling, IMHO, twofold over the stock 17"s

Wow! Beautiful cars. Thanks guys.
For those of you who switched from 17" to the 18" wheels (and made no other changes to the suspension at that time), how does the ride quality compare?

What are the correct offsets for a narrow body wanting to sport fat tires all around like 285 rears and 225 fronts?

Mine are hollow spokes, with 285's in the rear. It's lowered and does not rub.

BTW, nice color, Mark.

Garychios- the correct offsets are what I posted above.

Malibusteve- The RS tail looks amazing!!! What frontend do you have? I've been very close to getting the RS splitters and tail but I'm afraid of scraping on my driveway and I didn't want to just do the tail. But after seeing your I like the look alot.

Rick lee- Nice wheels!!!!
