I run this exact set for my winter set up on my 996 c4s.

Suggestion
I think they are different on the 993 so from memory they will stick out more filling the wider fenders.

I ran into someone selling a set of what I believe to be a set of 993 Turbo Twist wheels - though no part number is apparently visible so I suppose they could be replicas.

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.

I ran into someone selling a set of what I believe to be a set of 993 Turbo Twist wheels - though no part number is apparently visible so I suppose they could be replicas. I'm contemplating getting these as a winter set. They are advertised as:
225/40/18 fronts ~ 18x8
265/35/18 rears ~ 18x10
I believe Porsche recommends 10" for winter wheels ... does anyone know if these work on a C4S?
Thanks for the opinions - note that this would be for a winter wheel set (mounted with Blizzak's) where a narrower tire is preferred. I have my sport techno's for summer which I love. AFAIK Porsche recommends 225/40/18 and 265/35/18 winter tires, which work best on 8" front, 10" rear wheels.
Check the offsets on the rears. I think they are different on the 993 so from memory they will stick out more filling the wider fenders. Probably will look ok.
I used to live in SoCal - I totally get why you placed quotation marks around the word civilized.
I'll get some pics of the wheels on my car ... might be a good option for others too!
