Help with Rims and Tires.

Can someone help with the following:
I am replacing factor rims with with the following.
Can someone please let me know if these rims will fit.

I have a 1984 911 Cab.

Porsche 911/Boxster OEM Factory 18" Wheels and Tires. Came off a 1999 996. Wheels are straight and true with no cracks. There is some curb rash on them. Tires are Bridgestone Potenza RE960AS with plenty of life left in them!! Fronts are 225/40r18 and the rears are 265/35r18. These are FACTORY Porsche Rims

Definately not without spacers.

With proper spacers, maybe. 225 is probably too wide for the front unless the offsets are exactly perfect, and the fender lips are rolled.

265 should fit the back, but once again, only with proper spacers.

Well said!

IMO, 18 inch wheels would make your brakes/rotors look like little baby brakes. No offense.
