Trade 19" For OE 17" Or 18"?

These 19" wheels are beautiful, but very uncomfortable. I need a little more cushy ride.

The car is a late 1997 993 C2 Cabriolet

I don't know the widths nor offsets, but the tires are:

Front 245/35ZR 19 Bridgestones
Rear 285/30ZR 19 Bridgestones

Ronev,

WOW, cool look as is understand about the ride though!! If you find 18s, you'll need offsets of 52ET front/65ET rear. MY02 are my all time favorites. Good luck on the search!!

Where did you get the brake vents with the lights?
Still have the wheels?

Hey, 01P, that was a factory RS nose, but the car was like that when I bought it.

I have neither the car nor the wheels anymore. Sorry.

Those are the stock offsets for 18" wheels on a C2, but you can run different offsets and still be ok. I am running et54 in the rear on this cab (lowered) with a 265 rear tire with no issues. It pushes the wheel out 11mm farther then the et65, so it fills the fender a little better.
