Default Wheel ordering help!


Hey wheel gurus! could you me help or point me in the right direction? I own a Porsche 993 Cabrio and about to order a set of work meister wheels. I need help getting the right offset and sizes. I’m wanting to achieve maximum dish and width don’t mind fenders the fenders a bit. What would you recommend?

the info in the chart is confusing,
but if I am reading it right there are no wheels there that are appropriate for a 993

8ET50 or 8.5ET54 front
10 ET65 rear
are what you are looking for

Thanks Bill appreciate the help! Looks like might have to do some more research! Wanting a wheel with maximum dish, being very hard to find especially being from australia! Did see these but I’m taking it, it’s a big no no? To aggressive?

if i am reading that right the 8.5 has ET15 and the 10 ET21, yes they have a deeper dish than wheels that fit but they stick out way to far for your fenders.

from 964 up all 911 variants have ABS which entails wheels w/ a - scrub radius, to get that they all have much higher numerical ET than pre 89 911. The higher the numerical ET the shallower the dish effect.

again 8ET50-52 if it's not a real low car and the tires are 225 you can sneak the ET down a little to the high 40s
similarly 10 ET65, if the car isn't real low and the tires are no more than 265 can sneak ET down to the high 50s.

The lower the numerical ET the more the wheel sticks out and the closer to the lips the tire gets.
