MY02 Wheels on a Wide Body 996
I couldn't find much on this set up but it seems to be the "Perfect winter Setup"
8x18 inch front wheels and 8x10 inch rear wheels.
Like many 996 Widebody and 996 Turbo guys, I was having problems finding a winter set up. the rear 265 width should not be stretched onto a 11 inch wide wheel. This was my solution.
I originally used a 17 mm spacer on the rear with the 65 offset of the MY02 Wheels. It worked but the car looked silly because of the sunk in rear wheel and the handling was very poor.
I changed the rear spacers to a 25mm and presto. The rear wheel well looked filled in and the car was much more stable.

Def need spacers in the back! I remember I put one of these wheels on my C4S just as a spare once and it was tiny looking. Run a slightly bigger spacer then the one you are using now and it would look perfect.
