The car presently has factory suspension. Somehow I'm suspecting this will not be possible, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask...

Here's the info on the rims & tires:

Size: Fronts 8J X 18 ET52 (225/40 ZR18) Part no: 993.362.138.00
Rears 10J X 18 ET40 (285/30 ZR18) Part no: 993.362.140.00

Any insight (or pictures if anyone has done something similar) would be awesome!!

Thanks in advance!
The wheels should fit as is with no spacers....However, the 97 year was not designed to have wheels bigger than 17"s
