Hey, Manny.
I made one mistake on my post. Thanks for pointing it out in your PM. It is a 265/35 (not 265/30) on the rear. Here are the specs:
Front - 225/40 18" (8" wide) 57mm offset
Rear - 265/35 18" (10" wide) 58mm offset
I have ZERO rubbing at all. That's hitting some good bumps too! Hope this helps you out.

Hi The 8 x 18 front Carrera III is a 57-mm offset, 5-mm higher than the standard 8 x 18 for MY95 993 18s. The 10 x 18 rear is 58-mm offset, 7-mm lower than standard 10 x 18 MY95 993 18s. With the tire sizes you mentioned--225/40-18 front with 8 x 18 fronts and 265/35-18 with 10 x 18 rears--I'm assuming no rubbing occurs at a lowered (Euro) ride heights? I will be ordering the Carrera III OEM wheels from Finish Line OEM wheels. http://www.finishlinewheels.com/PORS...08/A-67321U20/ http://www.finishlinewheels.com/PORS...08/A-67322U20/
With tires mounted, the fronts will be ~0.19-inches further inboard, and the rears will be ~0.29 inches further outboard relative to the standard offset MY95 993 18-inch fitments. I'm guessing these aren't visually perceptible differences, but clearance-wise I'm hoping for no rubbing with the bodywork or with the coilover shocks. Thanks.

Hi, Chad. Thanks for verifying the Carrera III wheel offsets and proper tire sizes. I was initially planning to order the MY2002 18-in raised 5-spoke 996 wheels, but like the 997 Carrera IIIs on our 993s much better. I intend to mount Blizzak LM60 winter tires on the Carrera IIIs.
