Quick comment from a guy who has 996s running on 17s, 18s, and 19s......75% of "look" and 'filling out the wheel-well' has nothing to do with wheel size........that 75% is 1.) suspension ride height and 2.) offset.

First 2 things I mess-with on any new car are.........suspension (for performance, height, rake)......and wheel offset (use spacers if I have to temproarily) then order the 'right' offset.

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.

Do you guys recommend 19" or 20" wheels on a 996 C2?
Do I have to lower my car for it to look good with 19" or 20" wheels? I dont want it to look like a 4x4 with bigger wheels on it.
Stick with 18" wheels. The 996 was not designed for 19" wheels although there are a lot of aftermarket 19" wheels available from Ruf, Cargraphic, and others. I don't think 20" wheels will fit -- you would have to roll the fenders A LOT.
For 20's, you'll probably have to cut the fenders out
. But 19's are do able but only for bling purposes and the 18's are just right for the 996_bling and performance, the best of both world.
I have beenthrough several problem due to kerbed front wheel,
a friend of mine did borrow me a set of 19 inch ruf alloys....
imust say that car now has problems with a verry annoying tamlinning....
stick with the 18.....
much better....
and on the other hand difference between 17 Vs 18 is hudge...
it isn't though that big between 18 Vs 19....
