These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I bent one of the rear wheels on my 99 996 cabriolet. It has 9x18 wheels on the back with I believe 52 offset. Is this the correct factory wheel size? I found some wheels forsale locally that are 10x18 with the same offset. We put one on to see if it would work and it looks like it sticks out too far. Is there a problem running the wider wheels?

POST 2Original post

I believe when you go wider you need to have a different offset to the inside to maintain the tire to fender clearance on the outside. I don't know what the new offset would be but would suggest you go to Tire Rack and look at wheels to see what numbers they give you as alternate wheels for your year/model.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I looked up wheels on Tire Rack and all the 18" that they list for the rear are 10" wide. The offset is 65mm though which would put the outside edge in the same place as what is on my car now. Did 996's ever come with 9" wide on the back or did someone put Boxster wheels on it?

POST 4Original post

I believe that all oem 996 wheels should have been 18x8 +50 for the front and 18x10 +65 on the rear. So perhaps you have boxster wheels in back as you suspect and the lower offset works because they're an inch narrower.

POST 5Original post

Whatnot if you send me a picture of your wheel I may have a replacement for you.

POST 7Original post

I don't have that wheel but I think that is OE size for a 99

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok, thanks for all the help. I think I have this figured out now. I probably wold have ended up with a set of wheels I couldn't used without the info here. I think I will try making it till winter with the bent wheel. That will give my till late next spring to find replacement(s).
