Query abt fitting 18" turbo alloys to a 1995 993

[gilveys]

Hello all,

New 993 owner here! Just picked the car (A 1995 Carrera 4) up and am loving it very much! Just a quick query for this forum:

I'm planning to fitt the 18" turbo alloys to my car, and read earlier in the forum that some adjustments may be required to the car to cater for this: Specifically:

If 18 inch wheels were fitted then there neds to be a steering brace fitted?

Is this the case or can this just be added to the car with no adjustments?

Thanks for any feedback in advance!

Hi Guys,

Thanks for the responses so far, going back through the Porsche forum's this seems a very common issue for 993 guys, we must all have an issue with standard 17" wheels

Prof: Yes those are the 18" wheels I am looking for, do you know anyone that can supply?

It seems from reading the forum's that if you can afford the real Porsche 18" alloys,it's worth doing a they're weigh less, I've read the replica's are a lot heavier and can impact handling?As Imvery skint from just recently purchasing the car (worth every penny!). Can any one recommend a good replica brand?

Cheers Simon

Thanks for all your advise guys, I think Jasmine Motorsport & a new steering brace may be the way forward, am going to drop them a line to see what they've got in stock
in terms of the genuine Porsche alloys.

I've had the car for a week and am getting used to the standard Cup 2 alloys looks it has, though Matt's car has reminded me they look great with the upgrade aswell so
I think the Cups are getting traded in!

Apologies for the late post ...the joy of working late ... at least I can stretch the legs on the car (ahem) on the way home without the bother of much traffic. Cheers Simon
