17x7 front 17x9 in the back 993's 1.5" spacers all around but probably could go with 2" in back. Front fenders are pulled a little and I had to trim the front lip so I could steer.
Edit: The tires are 225/40 front and the back are 255/35 Bridgestone SO-3. Just the perfect tires for these wheels. I don't think all 255's will work but my tires have the bead pretty far in towards the center of the tire.
