Juha, what is the wheel width, offset and tire size on picture LM-22 in your album above? Looks really tight, and REALLY good

Viggo!!! This summer I will take my 993 to Stockholm!!

The rear wheels are 18x9.5" ET55.
Reverse mounting them reduces the ET by 16mm making them ET39.
BUT, they do rub with Toyo R888 285/30/18. I can't remember if I had any street tire on them but the toyos definately rubbed during high speed cornering and bumbs. I have them back in the original setup now...

Hi Juha,

Great to hear then we can meet up . Let me know and I'll bring mine as well.

I was thinking about the front wheels actually. I'm trying to figure out which tires will fit. I'm looking at 888's in 255/35/18 or 265/35/18 and so I was curious what tires are on there (pic LM-22) and what width and offset the wheels are. It looks great! I'm also willing to roll fenders to make it work.



To the OP: Check also with Gert / Carnewal. He is in Europe but his pricing is very competitive.

Viggo,

I don't think it is possible to run a 255/35/18 up front. I have tried it. It will rub both inside and outside.
A 245/30/18 will fit but it's not a very common size. I run 235/40/18 up front. But now I'm moving to slicks...

George Abdalla aka "George A" said he could run 265's up front (along with 305's in the rear ), but I'm firmly convinced that he owned the world's widest narrow body 993. His set up and wheel offset may have helped, too.
