17" Rota Fox Wheels on a 993?
I have the #4 Rota Fox 17" wheels on my 87 911...I LOVE 'em! I am looking for another Porsche...a 1995 or 1996, 993 and I want to put my Rota Fox wheels on the 993. The thread below indicates that there would be a fit problem as the factory cup wheels that come on the 993 are a different offset and Fuchs would not fit a 993.
Would this also apply to the Rotas? Does anyone out there have any way to find out if the Rota Fox wheels would fit on a 993? Fuchs on a 993 ... Jerry

Jerry,
I could sense your excitement when I posted the videao of the black 993 but unfortunately, the Rota foxes that work on your your Carrera simply will not work on a 964/993 because of the very different offset. 993 wheels will work on SC/Carreras with spacers. I had 16 inch cups on my sc but had to use 1inch front and almost 3 inch spacers for them to fit. I have since gone back to Fuchs. That being said, I would think that, for the right amount of $$$$$$, a set of Fuchs style wheels that would fit a 993 could be had. In Europe, there is a company that sells replica 911 RS's with Fuch style wheels. IMO, they just don't look right. If it were me, I would just do as the fellow in the video did and paint the factory wheels.

Thanks Wayne!
OK, I'll keep the Rota's for the 87 911 and when I get a 993, I'll get some Supercups with the centers painted black and polished rims.  Jerry

Sweet. You can still have some "lip"
on the 993 wheels, especially if you go with the Supercup style.

I would think Lindsey Racing could possibly custom make some 17" Fuchs with the correct offset for a 993???

It can be done, easily with a 3 piece wheel. But they would have about the same "lip" or "dish" as a 911 16x6.....
Cheers
