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.

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.

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 .
