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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Cannot find anything definitive....does anyone know for sure if the following will fit on my 1998 986 without any spacers or modifications??? 987-362-136-00 (18x8) 57 offset with 235/40/18 987-362-138-00 (18x9) 43 offset with 265/40/18 Thanks in advance.

POST 2Original post

Be careful....I've read that 18" wheels are NOT recommended for your car. Use the "SEARCH" feature here on 986forum.com and on rennlist.com .

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi.....you're thinking about 1997 model....the 1998 offered 18" wheels from the factory but with a different tire size than I am looking to put on....the stock 18's on a 1998 were 225/40 and 265/35 .
