They’re most likely Turbo-fitment wheels mounted on a narrow-body car—something I see all too often.

If you share your VIN, I can look up your car’s original wheel specs using the Porsche catalog with the VIN filter.

Assuming it’s a narrow-body Carrera 2, the most aggressive fitment you'd want while running GT3 tire sizes (235/40-18 front & 295/30-18 rear) would be:

Front: 18x8.5” ET45 or ET44

Rear: 18x11” ET60

Suncoast currently has specials on OEM wheel sets—18x8 ET52 and 18x10 ET65—which are a great match for 225/40 ZR18 and 285/30 ZR18 tire sizes.

Tirerack currently has 11 solid tire options to choose from—but hey, you only need one set!
