I put these on my 986 (non S) and had to buy a toe adjustment kit to get the alignment correct. My 986 has 2001 S rear axle housings from the big red brake conversion I did. The 10" rears are within camber specs but the outside two inches of tread are not firm on the road until load is put on them. I like the look and the handling but at some point I may go back to 8" tread width on the rears after seeing how the tread wears.
18" Porsche technology/turbo-look wheels with Bridgestone S-02 tires.
Rear: 18x10 (993.362.140.03 ET40), 285/30ZR18
Front: 18x8 (993.362.136.01 ET52), 225/40ZR18
These wheels were original for the Porsche 993 "widebody".
The style is very similar to the Boxster wheels, so they look just right.
They are larger and wider, which makes the car look really great.
They bolt right onto the car with no need for spacers or long bolts.
