Very nice. Your wheels are a very similar design to my 18" Carrera IV wheels.

I put BF Goodrich g-Force T/A KDW tires on mine. I really like the additional contact patch of the 18's; great stick on the curves.

Yes, like hollow fuchs was how I thought of the Carrera IV wheels; spirit of the vintage 911. They came off a 997.2 narrow body. No spacers needed front or rear on my 996. Fit great even with the steamroller 18x10.5 285/30's in the rear.

Thanks all, no spacers needed. I'm barely able to post a pic let alone post a larger one. My two sons love the new wheels and now say my 99 looks much more current.
