Well, somebody fit some 18" wheels with something like 285 tyres on his 944S2. These weren't the turbo wheels, but it comes pretty close.
I think you'll need some pretty heavy spacers and this will result in replacing your bearings 50% quicker... |

The year of the 944 makes a difference.
Any later wheels will fit with the right spacers. Possible detriments: Wheel bearing thing 18" is not recommended by the factory. Grassroots motorsports did a study that showed performace tops out at 16/17/ Positives: Looks No real tricks...have to remove the hubs to put on the spacers. If you do it I would love to see the pics.

The car is an 86 Turbo if that helps.
