I drive a 1999 NB with a stock suspension and recently purchased a pair of 18x10 Twist II wheels. These are not the turbo twist wheels but the early base style in a larger width and diameter with a 65mm offset.
My questions is can I fit a 295/35 or 295/30 without rubbing in the rear? Anyone have this size wheels and tire? Pictures?
Thanks.

 

I have 295/30-19 on Lobster forks with 10mm spacers in the back. Looking great and no rubbing

 

Welcome to the group. If you do a search, you will find dozens of similar posts/questions. You may get your question answered faster that way.

 

I have 2000 NB that I run on the track with two different sets of wheel/tires that have no rubbing. My car is probably lowered about 25-30 mm if not more. They are as follows:
1) 18x11 GT3 wheels with 63 mm offset. R888 Tires are 295 30. I may put spacers on since they are not flush but this is what I use on the track so no big deal.
2) 18x10 Cargraphic wheels with 47mm offset which is a pretty aggressive offset. Running 285 30 BF Goodrich tires. This combination looks awesome. Can't wait till track season is over to put them back on. Pic of these are attached. The GT3 wheels with the 295's are probably in about 5 mm from these.

 

Thank you for your replies. I did an extensive search and found little if no confirming information on the MKI 1999-2000 NB using 295/30 or 295/35s on their 65mm offset OEM 18x10 wheels. The overwhelming majority of posts have been for the MKII 996s with variations on wheel widths and offset.
I'm going to try the 295/30 or 295/35s on my rears and lets see what happens. We may just be the pioneers on this subject and years from now when the IMS issues are a thing of the past and 996 owners are trying to keep their stock wheels they'll reference this thread!
Woohoo!!
Cheers

 

As I said before, I am running 295/30s on 11 inch wheels with 63mm offset. You will have no issues on 10 inch even with the 2mm difference which makes up for the narrower wheel you have. However, I do think you will want spacers to move away from the stock offset which I personally don't like on my 2000 NB. Thus, the cargraphic aggressive offset.
