Question for NB 996

Do OEM 993 Turbo wheels (with 225/40/zr18 on 8x18 and 285/30/zr18 on 10x18) fit the 996 narrow body?

I don't see why it wouldn't but I want to make sure. Also, I did a search and couldn't find anything. Sorry. Thanks in advance for the help!!

These are the tire sizes I am currently running on my 996. I'm pretty sure the rears will go to 295 without it looking silly but the 285 is a far more common tire

Tires sizes look OK but you need to know the wheel offset and compare to stock.

Zose will become famous soon enough
While I'm by no means an expert, I know enough to be dangerous. The tires should fit just fine, but what is different between wide and narrow body cars is the offsets. You need to find out what the offset of the wheels are then you can know if they'll fit your car.

^ those offsets are fine. the OEM turbo wheels are a 45 offset in the rear.
