Will definitely be careful with these tires in the low temps.

If you can find a set of 17" wheels, it will save you a bunch of $$ on tires
maybe find someone that wants to swap 17's for 18's ??

Hey... I want to swap some 17s for 18s. 18" wheels offer better tire choices for the crazy 987 Cayman sizes with staggered diameter. Anyone??

Dave, I have a set of Boxster 18's that I'd be glad to swap for 17 rears. The 18's have a bit of curb rash so would make perfect track wheels.

Fronts Turbo I 7.5x18 PN 993.362.134.06


Rears Turbo I 9x18 PN 993.362.138.01

Those might work. What are your rear offsets? They need to be about 43 to fit the Cayman in stock form without spacers. Curb rash is not a problem, my wheels are not pristine either but straight and true.

You want 2 rears or 4?
