Ok, now I have to throw a wrench in the works...
I have been chasing one of my other bucket list cars for several years and the owner just gave me the green light last night! I have always wanted an RSA (I know just a overpriced, tarted up 964 C2..) but only want an all original, primo, no roof, no air, LSD car... So a friend of mine has finally caved under several years of arm twisting and i will be picking up my new to me RSA next week.
So how does this relate? First it of course needs the right wheel setup (it currently is on a set of Fikse Mach V's) and comes with the OE wheels as well. I will keep the OE's but am thinking about which of these other wheels I have that might fit.
I am thinking the Speedline with a ~20mm rear spacer. For my wheel fitment experts, what do you think of that?
I also wasnt planning on the outlay of cash, so to soften the blow a little bit I will be doing a little bit of a garage sale. Look for a few of these wheels to pop up for sale along with a few other P-car parts.

Nice collection of wheels. I like most of them. I do agree that the Fikses looks a bit "busy" as a mesh type wheel, but for some reason that works well for the BBS wheels (like the e88).
Anyways, I love the hollow spokes on the 993, just such an iconic wheel of the 993 era. I'd say keep them, especially if they are hollow and 8+10. I would keep the RUFs, speedlines and hollows.

That would be an effective ET45 on the rears which should work. Cup IIs are fine at ET55 on a street car, but need more like 48 to not rub the control arms and cat head shield on a track car. As long as you don't have fender issues on the outside you should be fine, but a 15-18mm spacer would work for sure.
