I got my LMs from Supreme Power (Eric) Great vendor and a better price . No affiliation, etc
I don't know if he has the wheel you want but worth a try.

Your 993 is a narrowbody!? What kind of size are you thinking about? I don't think you can get much lip on a narrowbody...

What is the difference between the LM99, 100 and 144? Please educate me.

Hi, Juha At present am using the 99 infront and the 100 at the rear. a friend told me that we can go as 50 offset max for NB 993 which is the LM144 and thicker lip for the better look.

Nice 993 you got there Freddie!!
LM's look great too, those are 19s?

You can also try reverse mounting you rear wheels : http://m3supercar.1g.fi/kuvat/993/BBS-LM/

Ferdie,
Love the car! I gotta know a few things. What size are the rear tires and what is your ride height either at the actual measure point or at the fender lip? Thanks!
