They will fit...1-2 other Rennlisters have put these rims on their 993...do a search and there are pics. IIRC the fronts have a bigger offset then the 993 stock rims so the tires will be a bit more inboard...you may want to consider getting 5-10mm spacers for the front.

BTW, where in Hong Kong are you getting these rims? I thinking of making a change to my wheels.

Lurking for a while. Thought I'd throw in my .02. Just added these off a 05.

Does the shop have other OEM wheels? Can you PM the shop's address and phone number (once you've completed your purchase)?? Thanks

911hk and David in LA:

Would be interested to know the source of 2nd hand OEM rims as well.

Thanks.

Yep, they fit.
I used 5mm spacers on the front, but they may work without them.

No spacers on mine. Running Michelin Pilot PS2 235's and 265's. But I don't know if these will work on a lowered ride. I'm still a SUV. A future upgrade.

It looks like you are on PSS10's now, what's your drop and did you end up having to use spacers? Many thanks.

I've found a set (non-S variety, I think,) and I want to avoid spacers if I can.

(997.362.136.00) (8Jx 18HZ-ET57)
(997.362.140.01) (10Jx 18HZ-ET58)

Sorry to bump an old thread but I figured it's better than starting a new one...

I'll let Travis respond w/ the space question, but I saw his car a few weeks back and love the wheels. I like them better than MY02s even, although they are similar.

Thanks. I like the MY02's as well, and they're 7lbs+ lighter (full set) than the c-III's so that's a big plus, but I haven't seen any good sets for a decent price lately.
