There are a lot of great looking wheels on this thread but it's still hard to beat a nice set of twists! Your car looks great even if you think it's dirty!

^Your C2 looks great on those Hollow Spoke Twists. Do you have any info on your suspension settings? Looks like you have a little bit of rake put in, which really looks great.

Thanks Mr. Woolery! Currently running Bilstein B6 Struts with H&R Sport Springs is all it is. I have run a similar suspension setup on several cars I have owned in the past, but we said the same thing; the front just kept dropping when we set it down off of the lift. Does anyone know if there is a small spring pad in the rear of these cars? Do not recall seeing one when we did the springs, but might be interested in removing it to bring the rear down to match the front. Have a set of 7mm wheel spacers for the front and 5mm for the rear on order to make everything nice and flush.

We had this 993 Turbo come back in a few days ago for a tire swap. These photos of the car on HRE 595R's were taken back in 2011. Wheel are still rolling strong!

Default September-December 2018 BBS USA "993 C2 Tuner Fitment"

Brand new BBS LM 285/LM 277 Tuner Fitment for 993 Normal-Width ("Narrow Body") Rear Fenders Carrera.

Fronts: LM 285 - 9x18, 50-mm offset with 225/40-18 P-Zero Rosso N4.

Rears: LM 277 - 11x18, 56-mm offset with 285/38-18 P-Zero Rosso N4.

My 993 has M030 Sport Suspension (~4.8 inches ride height front/~4.5 inches ride height rear).

BBS LMs were ordered directly from BBS USA (Braselton, GA).

LM 277s are normal stock items.

LM 285s are special-order-only from BBS Japan with a 3-month wait-time from the time you place your order to delivery to your door.

No modifications were needed to run LM 285s with 225/40-18 P-Zero Rosso N4s up front, with absolutely no rubbing, at full steering wheel lock-to-lock.

Rear fender lips needed slight massaging upward to create the needed clearance to run LM 277s with 285/30-18 P-Zero Rosso N4s at the rear axle.



BBS LM 277 rear, LM 285 front



BBS LM 285 (+50-mm offset) front with 225/40-18 P-Zero Rosso N4.



BBS LM 277 (+56-mm offset) rear with 285/30-18 P-Zero Rosso N4.



BBS LM 277 (+56-mm offset) rear with 285/30-18 P-Zero Rosso N4. Rear fender lips needed slight massaging to create clearance from tire sidewall under full suspension compression.

Default Fikse FM-10: 8.5/10x18 225-40/265-35-18 Michelin Pilot SS

My old Fikse FM-10 set up minted way back in April 2002.

One of the rear centers has been replaced in 2014.

All have been dis-assembled, inspected, and refinished at least once with all inner barrels powder-coated silver (instead of Fikse's stock raw aluminum).

Fronts: 8.5x18, +45-mm offset with 225/40-18 Michelin Pilot Super Sport

Rears 10x18, +57-mm offset with 265/35-18 Michelin Pilot Super Sport.


2002-minted Fikse FM-10, 8.5x18 +45-mm offset with 225/40-18 Pilot SS front, 10x18 +57-mm offset with 265/35-18 Pilot SS rear.

My hot rod C2 wears the original 16s. I just love the fatter tire look on the lowered suspension.

I love the fact that you dont have a staged shot - meaning that you actually drive your 993!
