Default Feeler post...I can't believe I'm thinking of this

I may, repeat, may be selling my Kahn RSR wheels.
Here are the details:
Fronts 18x8, 49mm offset, Pirelli P-Zero Assimetrico 225/40/ZR18
Rears 18x9.5, 55mm offset, Pirelli P-Zero Assimetrico 285/30/ZR18
Genuine Porsche crests on the centercaps.
The wheels are absolutely mint. Not a scratch or blemish. The tires have about 60-75% tread remaining. Included is one extra rear tire, same brand, model, and size.
They will fit any late offset 944, 951, 968, 911, 964, or 993.

If I decide to sell, the price will be $2000+shipping for a Rennlist member. $2200+shipping for non-members or if I Ebay them.
I'm still just thinking about this, so let me know if you or anyone you know would be seriously interested.
Here's the pics:





This is a comparison of the 285/30/18 next to a 225/50/16:

I may be interested--I'm looking at a 993 with 17s on it now, so keep me updated if you end up getting serious about selling them [of course, I have to buy the car itself first ]

cole@canvassystems.com is my e-mail address.

Shame they don't fit a narrow body.

They are closer to a NB offset than a WB.

Are you sure?
They fit under my 944's fenders nicely. The wheels I have on now are 17" Cups from a 993 NB and they aren't much narrower. The rears are 17x9 55 offset with a 255/40/17.

What is the appropriate offset for 18" wheels on a Narrow-body car? I thought that I had read of people with 18x10s on the back and them fitting...maybe I am crazy...

I believe the offsets for 18" wheels are ET52 front and ET65 rears.

Notice that the rear wheel is a 9.5". They should fit a NB fine. The 9.5" makes the outside of the wheel .25" closer to the center of the wheel than a 10", so the end result is only 2 or so mm different from a 10" wheel with a 65mm offset. I think that's right, or I may have just confused myself more.

Hi Pete,

What centre caps do you have on your car and where did you get them?

Cheers

The center caps are the original Kahn caps with a 356 hood crest attached.
Porsche caps were too big in diameter to fit these wheels so I bought 4 of these crests to attach to the Kahn centercaps.

Smart thinking my man! They look VERY sharp to me. Out of interest why are you thinking of selling and what type of price range are you considering?

Price is stated in the first post.
Reason for selling: I use the wheels 2 or 3 times a year and could really use the cash instead.
