Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Suggestion
@chrisp911: You can put the 996 TT Motor in any 996, but keep in mind you have to change the tranny with it and some other stuff.

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.

Hey all,
I’ve looked around all the forums and I can’t find anyone who has tried 18x10 offset 40 wheels on a narrow body 2003 996. I know stock was 65 offset so about an inch further out. Guessing no good from eyeballing it but thought I’d see if anyone has tried it.
Thanks.
yes, i looked for it too and everybody told me that a C4s cannot be converted to TT.
So either sell the C4s and spend 10-12K more to get a 996TT or buy aftermarket conversion turbos from another company

Nope. They made them widebodies on the 997, but the 996 RS is a narrow body.
@chrisp911: You can put the 996 TT Motor in any 996, but keep in mind you have to change the tranny with it and some other stuff. 996 TT Engine is a GT1 block, which is very different from the Carrera Blocks. Putting a GT1 Block in a Carrera would cost so much you might as well buy a turbo or GT2. Would probably be cheaper.

I have been searching around for a 996 C4S and ran across someone touting their 2003 as the same body as the turbo wide body but not the same as a 2002 C4S (which they claimed not to be the same wide body). I thought as you did Zookie, any truth to this sellers claim?
