Default Wheel fit question

Hello all,

Happy New year to you all

I am looking at the BBS wheels in the for sale section. Can anyone confirm that they will fit on the 993 NB?

Front Wheels: 18 X 8 1/2 Offset 56mm
Rear Wheels: 18 X 10 Offset 65mm

Thanks as always

They should fit just fine. ET65 is standard rear offset for NB, and IIRC, ET52 is standard for the fronts, so those front wheels will be offset 4mm further in (away from the fender), and probably allow you to run slightly wider tires.

You may have some contact at full steering lock while parking. There are enough pics of wheel rub that can be found on Rennlist threads.
