RE: 18" WHEEL WIDTH

Hi, I have a 944 S2, not a turbo, but my 18" wheels are 8" front, 10" rear. These fill the wheel arches perfectly and I don't have any problems with them fouling the bodywork.

It depends on the offset of the wheel to know if you are gonna need spacers.

I hope this helps. What type/make of wheels are you thinking of fitting?

RE: 18" WHEEL WIDTH

I WAS LOOKING AT A FEW DIFFRENT BRANDS AND TRYING TO DECIDE WHAT WIDTH I CAN USE ON THE 944T. I WANT TO GO AS WIDE AS POSSIBLE IN THE REAR AND STILL NOT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT ANY RUBBING

RE: 18" WHEEL WIDTH

10 inch width wheels will fit just fine under the rear arches without any fouling of the bodywork, but I would say that without body modifications thats the limit. You must get the offset right & you may have to use spacers.
