Default FWIW, 18x11 ET60 w/ 285/30-18 Pirelli PZero Rosso's fit my NB :) PICS

Just got some packages from the post office and didnt wanna waste a minute wondering any more lol. I bought a set of used Techart Champions (OZ Mito 1 Modular 3pc) from eBay from a guy who had em on a 993TT. They are:

Front: 18x8.5 ET41 w/ 225/40 Pirelli Pzero Rosso
Rear: 18X11 ET60 w/ 285/30 Pirelli Pzero Rosso

No rubbing front or rear on inner wheel well, oil lines or fender lips (not rolled yet) and I'm pretty low on KW coilovers. Pretty happy with the fitment so far!

I did recently have my alignment done after installing the coilovers and asked for the rears to be set fairly aggressive for street driving. I'm at -2.3 in rear and -2 in front, pretty static toe with a hair toe-in up front. If I want to go any lower, rolling the fenders would probably be a necessity but I took a spirited drive for a few miles and not one ounce of rub. It's got about 1/4" clearance on the rear inside at the top where the body/inner fender well bulges out and the tire will never deflect that far... about 3/4" clearance near the pass side rear oil lines. Cant ask for more than that with 11's and 285's on a NB!

p.s., ignore the missing center caps LOL. I have 3 matching and 1 oddball. I'm on the hunt for 4 matching new emblems to go on my existing caps or just 4 new caps to match... or one used Techart cap and worry about them later over winter LOL

digging the fit up front...8.5" et 41 with a 225 looks good. Granted, 2+ degrees negitive camber is helping keep em tucked in at the top.

Looks great

Those center caps are unique in size to those Techart wheels. I had a set and was able to mount another metal crest on top to make a center caps that looked better. jdorociak@gmail.com jim

Thats what I'm anticipating doing... mounting another Porsche crest emblem or cap decal of some sort on top. The only bugger is 1 of the 4 is a totally different cap LOL. While 3 are nearly identical (2 are black w/ no markings and 1 is an OZ M512), the 4th is a grey N12 cap?? Maybe I can find 1 M512 cap or 3 more N12 caps. I'm finding plenty of imprinted Lorinser ones and some RIAL ones that can be painted and new emblems applied.

The wheels looks awesome (I'm biased! lol)! They're Techart Championship Formula. The OZ Mitos had different faces that mounted on top of the lips, ours are mounted from the bottom like reverse mounted BBS LMs. Minor detail!

Man- your 993 look sick with those new wheels. IMHO, the aggressive, stretch look with a little poke in the rear is money!!

Congrats on the new wheels. The offsets and widths are encouraging for me re: the new set of wheels I'm going to install on my car. Looks like it should work out based on what you are running. Tight squeeze, but still works. You had some brass ones to buy those wheels without test fitting. Nicely done.

Bias welcome

IIRC, The Techart Championship Formula wheel is the Mito 1 Modular 3pc. The Mito 2 modular is the 2nd one that everyone remembers and the one youre mentioning. There was also a Mito 3 2pc with hidden hard ware... I guess they could be 3pc too. I know they have hidden hardware. Here's some old pics...

Looks great!
I'm running 11 in the rear as well with 275 tires... There is the occasional rub but I'll have to roll the fenders and play with the suspension next season.
