Anyone running 18" Fikse's on a 930?

[TDIDog]

Am thinking of either 17" Fuchs or 18" Fikse. Anyone have some pics to see what it looks like? Any comments, good or bad?
Thanks

[TDIDog]

Any model. Just want to see what they look like. If they look to large for the car, etc.
Thanks

Here's a couple pix of my 930 with Fikse FM/10's. They are 17's and the fronts are 8" with a +30 MM offset and the rears are 10" with the same offset. The finish is black anodized centers with polished outer rims. I hope this helps.

fullquack ran 17' fronts and 18" rears...they look really nice!

I have 17's for my 930, but the car is still in the build stage.

[forte500]

18" X 235 in front and 18" X 315 in rear. Kinesis rims but very similar. Perfect size IMHO for 930.

IMHO and Fwiw; 18's most often look disproportionate on a 930. Suspension set up requires compromise to avoid an overly harsh ride if still running t-bars.

18" Fikse's 245's up front 295's rear. Top pic is at stock ride height. Bottom pick is after lowering. Hate putting the 17"s back on for storage and early spring driving!!

Yep, been running Fikse 5S's 17" fronts, 18" rears for 2-1/2 years. 255 fronts, 295 rears B.F. Goodrich KDW's.

The ride is NOT harsh at all{stiff yes}, as others here have eluded to. I'm running 23mm & 30mm T-Bars & 22mm adj. sways, Bilstien HD shocks on all 4 corners, Rebel racing front control arm bushings & rear spring plate bushing.

The car is very low{2-1/2" clearance under the front valance}, almost Identical ride height as the other beautiful black ride shown earlier in this thread, from BSKI.

And Black is the fastest color.......

I'm seeing some nice looking combinations. The 18s look pretty good. Thought they might look too big, but I don't think so. Please keep sending pics. Thanks alot guys.

These are 17's from Forgeline, great wheels and company. I looked at Fikse and other brands, but I'm very happy I decided to buy Forgelines.

9x17 w/255's
11x17 w/315's

No issues with tires hitting body.

Fikse Profil 13 in my modified 930. 18" x 11" rear, 18" x 9" front. Very lightweight, very strong: I recommend. Only great experiences of quality: they don't easily change shape even if driving hard through track kerb bumps.

Fikse FM-10 8,5x17 and 10x17

I agree with turbo3six-18's look like a cartoon car.

[IMR-Merlin]

Personally I like the look of the 18's, I guess it's a matter or preference.

Seeing a nice 18 with the top a little tucked under the wheel well is a nice look, but that is my opinion. I have 17's so once I can get the engine back in the car and it back on the ground, I will post up some pictures.
