Turbo Twist Wheels for a 1995 993 Carrera

I need help to all Porsche 993 Carrera (narrow body) owners. Will turbo twist wheels with size of wheels as 225/40/18 for front and 285/30/18 for the rear fit on a carrera body?

What did they come off of? 996? If so then the N/A factory sets in most cases will be do-able if you swap them over up to 10"-max IMExp.

I had a set that were 10" wide on my 95, 285 tires and they fit just fine. It depends what car they came off of.

According to seller, the wheels came from a 996 turbo. Do you think this is do-able?

Thanks for your input.

Thanks for your feedback.

Your off-set on Turbo wheels is way too low, you're going to stick out like back-yard hill-billy down at the dirt track.

996 TT wheels DO NOT fit on the rear of a NB 993. The offset is totally off. You can get the NB TT wheels that fit, but run 225/265 tires.

I get trade-in sets here all the time, let me know what you are looking for, chances are I have it. If you're looking for the Turbo Twist style off a 996TT, I have a set that will work for you. I think I only have one set left so get a hold of me if you're interested.

Bernard - there is a guy on Rennlist selling the Turbo twists for a narrow body. Those are what you need. There aren't many used ones floating around.

Are you looking for 996 Narrow body twist or are you looking for the 996TT Twist? They are close in style but are different.

I have some Italy made 996TT style twist NIB and I have some used OEM 996 Narrow body with tires.

Let me know which you are interested in and I'll PM a quote...

Thanks,

-Eli
