Default RUF 17" on a NB?

Is anyone running RUF 17" wheels on a NB? I really like the look of the 17's because they have a dish to them or more of a classic look vs. the 18's which to me, seems a bit too modern for our generation/model. Thanks.

Are you talking about RUF 17" wheels meant for G-body cars? If so, you're not likely to find them because the offsets of these wheels won't work for 993's because of suspension differences between the two models.

​​​​​​That makes sense. Thanks.

Ruf did make a set of 17 inch wheels for the 964/993.

Here's an old rennlist ad: https://rennlist.com/forums/parts-ma...-and-17x9.html

That's interesting. I don't think I've ever seen those before. Probably not very easy to find. Thanks for including photos.

Did you mean this style? (different to the Red 993 pictured above, but the same as the pic immediately above it!)






They appear to be 964 fitment as follows:








Specs appear to be:

8×17″ AH2 ET56,7
9×17″ AH2 ET44.2

Someone will be along to state whether they are 993-compatiable...
