Not recommended, as I recall. Early suspension compliance / compatibility with wheel/tire technology > 17 inch???
Someone else will join in here I'm sure..

agree...17's would be the smart choice. I think the 964's can handle the 18's though.

try the search button and you will find a lot of info and pics. incluiding the porsche report for pre-964 carrera bodies and wheels upgrades
Wheels - Unapproved Installation of 18 Inch Wheels Group 4 Number 9305 Model All Part Identifier 4412 March 23, 1993 Subject: Installation of Porsche 18" Wheels Not Approved ATTENTION: Service Manager/Service Technician Models Affected: All Concern: Retrofitting 18" wheels on Porsche vehicles which do not have 18" wheels as original equipment is NOT ALLOWED. General Information: Endurance tests have shown that equipping certain Porsche vehicles with 18" wheels in an application not already approved by Porsche Cars, N.A. may result in loosened bolts and/or threaded connections on the front wheel carriers. This, in turn, may cause fractures in these components. Fractures may also occur in the front strut mounts and in the body in the area of the rear suspension as a result of the installation of 18" wheels not already approved for installation for this specific application. Such damage can occur without warning and the vehicle may become very hard to control or steer as a result of this improper installation. New 18 inch ROH wheels Are 18" wheels a bad idea?
