yes on the front, though it will give a little bit more roll than the 7.5 that the car came with.



no problem on the rear either

I have the 16inch wheels now , so i won't feel the difference .



I just like93 Cup (93 Cup (Cup 2)) wheels way more and found a set for a decent price .



But since the front have 205/50/17 on them originaly , 225/45/17 tyres is no problem on a 7J rim ?

If they are genuine porsche wheels the rears probably have 55 offset which is the correct offset for the 968 although 50 offset will also fit without problem. Before i got the correct 7,5 front I also used the 7 et 55 with 225/45 tires without problems.

Dank je Jaap .



Zoek al een poos naar de goeie maten maar telkens geen complete set of een de prijs waar je u tegen zegt .



En een set samenstellen heb ik niet zo een zin in vanwege kleur verschil , kan ik de boel meteen weer laten spuiten .



Maar de achter velgen zijn toch echt ET 50 volgens de man .



Ga eeerst maar eens kijken .

You can also add a 6mm spacer to fill out the front with the 225/45/17 tires. I'm thinking of doing the same for the back with 255/40/17 tires. I have different wheels but same offset.

I wish a course would help me! I have Dutch employees, and their English far exceeds my Dutch. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/sad.png" class="smilie" alt="" /> But I also have Brazilian, French, Swiss, Indian, South African, Chinese, Korean and Japanese employees. Their command of their native languages of course far exceeds my respective ability in each, especially outside the "romance" languages. <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/blink.png" class="smilie" alt="" />



I'm afraid basing things in English is the only option I have!

I think if we took a poll here Dutch is the next official 968 language given the number of members in or near Holland.

OEM wheels are easy to spot. You should see the width and offset digits on both sides of the valve stem. Part#s and everything else are on the rear. Make sure you get OEMs, The repos easily bend.

who told you that? the repos are actually tougher than the OEM rims. at least the mille miglias are. the problem is that they are heavier. they are also slightly different visually.

I know this thread is about 993 Cup wheels, but... the originator of the topic caused the "dutch language" topic deviation... <img src="/forum/images/smilies/968/rock.gif" class="smilie" alt="" />



So...

Ik begrijp u, maar niet so goed spreken! (en schrijven)



My parents immigrated to Canada in the 50's and when we were growing up they would use Dutch so we could not understand what (or mostly about who) they were talking. It is a sure way to cause your children to want to learn quickly!

Sorry about the dutch writing , but the reactions are fun .



Bought a set of the 993 Cup wheels , they are like new including tyres wich are about 65% . wheels are original Porsche .

I am going to pick them up next week at the Porsche Dealer in Groningen .



ET's are 55 back and front . with 9J and 7 J



i did't find any with the 7'5J in front and the 65 ET(seem kind of rare) , but this wil do for now .



Hopefully it also is the end of my irritating noise . http://www.968forums...g-noise-mhhhhh/
