Default Wide wheels on our narrow body 996

Guys,
Am seriously considering to downsize back to stock 18s on my ME from its current 19s. Found in marketplace a set of Hollow spoke Turbo Twists with 8x18 ET 50 Fronts and 11x18 ET 45 Rears. Came from wide body C4S/Turbo. Will the rears fit our narrow body ME without scraping the rear fenders? If so, will adding spacers reduce the fender scrape? Appreciate your thoughts.

They'll fit but stick out of the fenders a little bit. Best to find wheels off of a narrow body car.

Default #164 is back...

"Millie" (aka: ME #164) had extensive open heart surgery following a spun rod bearing a good while ago. Full rebuild....

She started on the first turn of the key and runs SMOOOOOOOOTH ! Super-stoked!!!!!

$38K is ridiculous and with the steering wheel on the wrong side!

The salvage titled #202 is for sale. I'm not sure how current this is but someone started to piece it back together. They clearly don't know much about it and was going to do a 997 front end conversion on it... It looks like it is still a salvage title but is nearly rebuilt and currently wears a red front bumper.
