964RS 3.8 - Wheel specs anyone?
Does anyone know the original wheel and tire specs for the ROW 964 RS 3.8?
This is the amazing and rare widebody car with the factory Speedline wheels.
I have read the wheels are 18x8.5" and 18x11" but I would like to confirm this
and find out what offset they used, plus the tire sizes (235/40-18 & 285/35-18?).
Here are a couple of borrowed pics for reference.

Shame on me for not getting more creative on Google before starting this thread
Here is the info I was after:
Speedline for Porsche cup design modular 18 inch
Special order from Porsche
RS 3.8 only
ditto 9JX18 48 RS 3.8 front only
RS 3.8 only
ditto 11JX18 5 RS 3.8 rear only
The next step is to find out if the 964 RS 3.8 uses the same front suspension geometry as a 964 turbo, i.e. mounting points, steering knuckles, subframe, etc. Obviously the alignment settings are far more aggressive.
Anyone?
Man I love these widebody N/A cars. Too bad they sell for so much money

In back they used the Cup(narrow body/monoball) trailing arms rather than the wider turbo arms
they also used the 993 style dual muffler exhaust w/ the mufflers mounted in the fenders

This car will be somewhat mild compared to my last two turbo projects.
964T with a warmed over 3.3L, CIS, headers, GT35 (400whp?), KW V3s, big brakes, 18" wheels, Recaro seats, etc. More of a fun weekend car than an all-out power/speed King.

Yup, sure seems like an interesting project. Subscribed . 400bhp out of a 3.3 turbo should not be too difficult. Are you thinking of doing the narrow body trailing arm conversion? What this means (besides the eep dish look in the rear) is that it allows you to go from 285 to 315+ tyres in the rear. It can make quite a difference with that kind of power output. But I have to ask though, how can you go from a 550hp+ beast to a 400hp "tamed beast"..? I'm sure if you made it lighter the difference would maybe not be perceived the same way.. Cool project regardless.. Do you already have a 964 turbo 3.3?

Thanks , but is it possible to find same deeper wheels like on 3,8 but with perfect offset to fit 3,6 Turbo ? Cause standard Turbo wheels not so deep as on RS 3.8
I saw some members here have 11jx18 but what offset ?
As I understand the look will be the same as on RS 3,8 with 11jx18 ?
This are 11Jx18
And this are RS 3,8
For me RS 3,8 wheels looks more deeper or I am wrong ? If both cars have same 11Jx18 why they look different?
