What size wheels and tires can I install in my car with no problems. I've read many different opinions and now I'm confused. It apprears that Porsche makes wheels in many different sizes and offsets. I'm just looking for some wheels and tires that I can put on and go. Can anyone help?
I currently have 18 x 8 et 52(front) and 18 x 10 et 65(rear) SportDesigns on my car. The car is a 2000 narrowbody 996 C4.
Will these wheels and tires fit or do I have to do something special?
Porsche Turbo Twist II's
18x8 et 50(front) & 18x11 et 45(rear)
Continential SportContact 2 - 225/40/18(front) & 295/30/18(rear)
P #s: 996.362.136.01 and 996.362.142.01( I think these are the correct #'s)
If not, what sizes and offsets will work? Thanks so much!!

the rear offsets are wrong I have tried to mount them up and they stick out too much. I think Porsche came out with a set with the proper width. Why would you go to that size anyways? it's a waste. the 11's weigh wayyyy more than the 10's, and your rims are relatively light other than 02 5 spokes, wait they're chrome? ugh never mind then. If you're going to do anything go up a size in the fronts to 8.5 makes a big difference, you will not like 11" rears with the 8" fronts unless you make up for the imbalance with some serious algnment tweaking PS contisports are junk tires and they're heavy.

8" x 18" - ET50

They are called Sport Techno, and look like this:

I believe Turbo Look II's are available in correct size/offset for narrow bodies. They are 18x10 with 65mm offset
