Default MY02 wheels & tire fitment question

I have a line on some MY02s with almost new Michelin Pilot Sport Cup tires. Not sure if the rear tires will work on my cab -- thinking they may be too wide. Anyone know?

Front: 8.0Jx 18 ET50, tires are 225/40/18
Rear: 10Jx 18 ET65, tires are 285/30/18

And what would be a good price for these?

Those rears are what I have on my NB Coupe, with RS height HD + H&R, and they work fine.

$1200 would be a fair price for the rims on their own in good condition - maybe $1600-$1700 for all?

Default Wheel size/tire size

...is fine. The MPSC tires work great on the track, but they need to be heated up before they provide maximum grip, at least that was the way it was back in the day, 6 years ago.

Those tires are really soft for the street IMHO.

Do rear ET 65 require spacer on a NB 993?

The 10X18 ET65 is a perfect fit for a 993 NB - no spacer required.

I do view wheels much like (most) women view shoes -- you should have way too many of them. So, I was planning on keeping them. But, if you made me an offer I couldn't refuse, well, I couldn't refuse it then, could I?
