Will 997 wheels fit?
Looking at purchasing a used set of wheels taken off a 997. Seller said that the wheels will fit late narrow body 993 but they weren't sure if they would fit on a 1995. I have a 1995. I'm not aware of any problems (other than adding the steering column brace since they are 18" wheels).
Shouldn't wheels that fit a late model 993 also fit a 1995?
Here's the link:

Thanks!

They are called Carrera III wheels. A bunch of threads in the last year about them on this forum. They fit, but possibly tight depending on tire choice. They'll definitely fill your wheel well.

One of the tires in the auction pictures looks brand new, where the others are used. Be careful that the new tire wasnt the result of hitting something and damaging the wheel as well. Just FYI.

Carrera III wheels
They fit the NB just fine, in my experience, and they look fantastic in my opinion (which Buford shares...)
Mine are new-car take-offs as well, though I'm sorry to say I paid a bit more than you are lookin' at...
I did put 5mm spacers up front, on advice of WheelEnhancement.com (no affiliation)

Did you try them without 5mm spacers?

Nope - didn't question "the authorities" that said I would need them.
It doesn't seem to me that something this wide... | | ...could compromise anything meaningful.
Can anyone help us out on this?
