Porsche 944 18" Twist Alloy Wheels

Good morning. Apologies if this subject has already been covered, when I searched I couldn't find an answer.
I've just purchased a 944 S2 cabriolet & I wanted to get the 996/993 twist/turbo 18" alloys. It seams to be a minefield of spacing & offset numbers on the internet. Does anyone know the part numbers of the wheels that would fit? Photo for reference is attached.
Thank you

Actually 18" wheels are NOT approved for any 944 model. In fact suspension changes (minor actually) are required to fit 17" wheels rather than the factory original 16". Key points are fronts can be up to 7.5" width and rears can be up to 9" while maintaining original offset of about 23.5mm (need to review the specs). In fact, the 7.5" fronts come in a 67mm offset which requires a 15mm spacer be used to get the new offset back to spec. 9" rears come in the appropriate offset. IIRC there is a doc in the FAQs about wheel sizes and mods required for 17" wheels. Having said that 18" wheels are not approved I think many people have used them. I would think you would want to keep widths and offsets as close to stock as possible to avoid upsetting suspension geometry and maintain clearance. Also make sure bushings are good as 18" wheels will increase stress on suspension components.

I came across this when I fitted the Techart Performance wheels on my 968. Not much in the way of info but it's all I could find at the time. Has anybody on here got the Porsche Accessories Catalouge from 1992/93/94?
