I have recently acquired a low mileage standard '88 996 Carrera 2, with which I am delighted. It is shod with N-rated Conti Sport Contact 2s -(F) 225/40 ZR18, and (R) 265/25 ZR18. Given that we live in a rural area with some pretty rough roads locally, I am wondering if anyone can advise me on some Porsche-approved wheels/tyres that would give a more comfortable ride. We are quite prepared to sacrifice handling for comfort, which may be anathema to some, but so be it! V. grateful for all advice.

Welcome to the forums. 17" wheels might give a better ride? This site shows you what's available:

18's give a very firm ride on the 993 also, have bought some 17'sbut have not tried them yet though, although I suspect they will improve comfort levels :?:
