Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion

According to Porsche's TSB they say you might need to roll the rear arch lips if using 285s on a pre-facelift, but I know several people who have fitted them without any problem.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a 98 c2 and want to fit 18" turbo style wheels Will Et 65 rear and ET 52 front with 285s and 225s fitted will they fit my car and Will I need spaces?

POST 3Original post

What are the rim widths? 7.5" or 8" fronts and 10" or 11" rears?

POST 5Original post

Then they should fit fine. 18" 10J ET65 were fitted to the rears on pre-facelift cars with 265 tyres. According to Porsche's TSB they say you might need to roll the rear arch lips if using 285s on a pre-facelift, but I know several people who have fitted them without any problem. You get better rim protection with a 285. Fronts are no problem.
