First off, you need to know what the offsets are for the Borbet wheels to see if they're compatible with your car. Second, the stock diameter for your car's tires is right at 25". Use the TireRack research tools to find tires that have the right diameter and tire width to fit your needs. I did this when I bought my 17" Cayman wheels for my '87 NA. The original Cayman tires were a bit too wide and diameter too tall. It caused a minor rub in the outer fender lip. After massaging the data I found the right size and Factory diameter so the speedo reads properly. I also used a 1/4" spacer up front so the wheel would seat properly on the hub. It had a rounded shoulder.

Some people try to turn back their "odometers." Not me. I want people to know 'why' I look this way. I've traveled a long way and some of the roads weren't paved.
