I am going to look at a set of factory 996 Sport Classic II wheels today. I know in a NB 996 configuration these wheels will work. The seller states the wheels are:
Front - 18X8
Rear - 18X10
I know I am fine on the rears since they are 10" I have seen most of these wheels on our 993 NB fronts as 7.5. From the limited research I did the 18X8 should work just fine. Am I correct? If all works well I'll have a new set of rims for the Rivi Blue Cab. TIA

I was told a little rub with the 8's from lock to lock. Basically steering wheel cranked all the way left = rub and all the way right = rub. Told people use them all the time. Wheel Enhancement told me this and I figure they are as good a source as any. They also said 225-40-18

Well just got back and the wheels are in good condition. Couple of rub marks etc. With no major damage. They turned out to be 18X10 and 18X7.5 so I know I'm safe. Feel like I got a good deal at $500.00 for all four with center caps ( basic silver ones). I verified all the part numbers and they're the real deal. They will go off to be refinished for about $500-$600. Not counting tires I should be around $1100.00 for the set refinished with caps. Pics when I get it all done.

Weren't the 996 Sport Classic wheels 7.5" wide at the front end just like the "twist" 996 wheels? I know the "MY02/Carrera Lightweight" wheel was 8"/ET52 but these were introduced on the 3.6 model.

They are Sport Classic II's. They have the 993 part numbers on the inside of the wheel. Now who knows if they were stock on the 996 they guy owned. They may have been added at a later date. I did verify all the part numbers. So maybe they were on a 993 at one point in their life. If you go to Wheel Enhancement they are calling them Sport Classic II's
