Original Porsche Carrera 996 or Boxster BBS style rims.

These wheels were an upgrade from factory, they are called the Sport Classic 2 wheel.

Tires are Conti Sport Contact N1 265/35/ZR18 & 255/40ZR18 .

Rim size and offset are 10 x 18 ET 65 & 7.5 x 18 ET 50.

Part numbers are 993 362 134 55 & 993 362 140 50.

Rims have some curb rash but none are bent, need to sell asap. (Ad is 4 + weeks old, from a body shop).
$1,200 CDN, local pick up.



I called him and he said there is 85% tread left and the rims have a slight bit of corrosion on them, like curb rash. I won't be able to see them for a few days as he is out of town.

How will it fit and what performance issues would there be. I don't hit the track.

Thanks,

Jaak
It would seem odd that a 18 x 7.5 would be paired up 18 x 10, but it's possible. In any case, neither size is a desirable offset for a 986 application; especially the rears. You would definitely need spacers in order to correct the offset .
