Those rears are WB offsets. To fit your Targa, you should be looking for something like this and they are pretty rare:

I've got a newly refinished set of NB hollow spokes mounted with a new set of Michelin supersports. If interested please PM me. I have a wide body set and these need to go.

Luft, I have a 95 and the wheels that i am running are MY02s:
Front 8/18 ET50
Rear 10/18 ET65
These do not require any spacers or modifications to the car. I hope this helps you.

Curious as to why you'd want 18" wheels on a targa. There is a reason Porsche provided a very nice 17" Speedline wheel specific to this model. If you're looking for the "best" quality ride, stick with the OEM wheel or Cup 2's.

Wouldn't you put 18s on a targa for the same reasons you'd put them on any other 993?
