Default Winter wheel-n-tire package_993,996TT,997,C2,C4

For 993, 996, 996Turbo, 997, C2 or C4.
Rare Strosek mono-block alloys, ready to go.
I go better in the snow with these than anyone, and that’s the honest truth.
After many years of ‘real winter driving’ these were best winter Pcar fitment I would ever recommend.
Yes they are 17s, yes they are 8Js, these are the ticket. Wide in the rear is not what you want on ‘real snow’. Spacers on the rear still give great look in the wheel well. I have 2 complete sets. All mounted with 235/45 (Snowsports on one set, Blizzaks on the other). $950.and $1100. plus $150 shipping on either. Winter driving is a hoot, just like autocross, and with these you leave SUV’s and all far behind.

Yep....and added benny is that tires are cheaper (and more easily sourced)......last season the Pirelli fiasco was nuts, trying to source good 18" SotoZ 240s.....none anywhere.

I first started using them on a 993....so, sure.
Dif bodies require dif spacers (if you are **** about the offset looking good w/your fender line.....as I am).
I used them on a Strosek C4S widebody.......used 25 and 28mm spacers (F/R) but may need nothing on a narrow body.

I honestly don't know.
One set was driven last year....I'd say both sets were bought with in the last 2-6 years.
I can check the code on the sidewalls......but won't get to that this week.
I'd run either set right now without a question.....I've prefered Pirelli's when I could get them....better tire....but Blizz's did run OK on 996.

Unfortunately I grew out of these.
Totaled the 993.
Put GT3 brakes on the Turbo....won't fit anymore.
Wife's C4S 997II has Techart winter fitments.

Classics....here's some some other classics......the original Strosek OZ Italian.....18s for wide-body 993.
I still have these.....may put them on Cayman.....but probably should sell them.
Beautiful clear coat powder coat on alloy 3 piece.....were made custom for Vitorio Strosek by OZ.
