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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi, I am looking at a set of lobster claw wheels from a 997 to fit my 996 C4S My current turbo twist alloys have stamped on them 8 45 front and 11 45 rear. I assume this is the width and offset. The 997 front wheels are 8x19 with 57 offset The rears 11x19 51 offset. The offsets are therefore different, and I assume the wheels will then sit out further, not a bad thing in itself. So, will they fit OK?

POST 2Original post

Have seen lobsters on plenty of 996's, but never on a C4S... you will need spacers I think. These may help you, I always use the site willtheyfit.com to work out this sort of thing :thumb:

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks the help and useful web links. Looks like I need to fit spacers . To do this will I need new studs - never done this before Are they easy to get out, or do 996 have bolts?

POST 5Original post

Hi, if you use spacers you will need new bolts "longer" first you will have to decide what spacers you need, this is link to website where you can put all information: https://www.willtheyfit.com/ check what you have on car alloys and tyre then put size of new alloys and then play with tyre, aim to have same error front/rear
