It just means you are running a slightly wider tyre which does fit but is not optimal.
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.

Hi,
This may be a bit of a simple question but can anyone tell me if 18" alloys off a 996 Turbo will fit my standard 996 C4 Tip. I notice that the tyres on the rears are 295/30/18 whereas my rears are 285/30/18s. Both have 225/35/18s on the front. Also what is a fair price for wheels from a Turbo like these?
Thanks in advance.
Martin.
Seconded as per Richard.
Turbo has 11" ET45
Non Turbo/4S has 10" ET65
Basically theyd stick out far too much, its not for example a case of fitting spacers.
You can get 'narrow body' fitment, and to go on Boxster too.
For some reason I have 295/30/18 which is standard but my fronts are slightly different being 235/40/18....shouldnt this be 225/40/18?
What tyres should i fit on the front when I'm up for change?
Yes on the front it should 225/40/18. It just means you are running a slightly wider tyre which does fit but is not optimal. Also 225/40/18 is a very common size so cost is cheaper, more choice and if you care about N rating then obviously you will be able to get this as 235/40/18 wont be made with N rating.
Brand-wise try to keep all four the same, IMO.
Whichever...
235/40/18 is the 996 MKII GT3 size front tyre. Usually run on a 8.5x18 rim but still ok on 8x18. GT3 also has 295/30/18 on a 11x18 rim on the rear. All N Rated
If they are 235/40/18 they will be slightly larger diameter, which may affect the PSM. Also, being a non-standard size for your car might be an
insurance
issue in the event of a claim.
Another pointer is the GT3 has different wheel arch iiners to prevent the 235s rubbing. Probably best to stick to the 225s.
Out of interest, which wheel does the speedo run off?
