I've heard that I'm not supposed to use these rims on my car?
Does anyone have a past experience of this?
Porsche saids I'll wear out my tires within only a couple of miles and driving my car with those rims is not recomended.
The rims and new tires I bought is fitted on my car now and everything seems just fine at the moment.

There is a steering rack brace to add for '95 and earlier when running 18s. Relatively cheap around $45, from memory - sorry don't have part no.

When you say 94 C2, I assume you're still talking about a 993 and not a 964, right? I think you guys in Europe got the 993 in 94...
I'm not an expert but wearing the tires out in a couple of miles doesn't sound right to me in the slightest. Maybe more knowledgeable people can chime in regarding some weird tire issue that I'm unaware of.
Part # for steering rack brace: 993-347-131-02
Part # for screws (buy 2 ): 999-218-103-09

If the wheels in question are off a 993 Turbo, the rears will not fit a narrow body car properly. You need to use the Turbo wheels made specifically for the narrow body.
Turbo rear wheel: 10" x 18" - ET40
Narrow Body rear wheel: 10" x 18" - ET65
Turbo rear wheel: 10" x 18" - ET40
