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

Hello, Will 997 Lobster Calws with this spec fit a 2004 C4S? 2 : 11 J x 19 H2 ET 51 : 99736216200 2 : 8 J x 19 H2 ET 57 : 99736215601 And are they 997S wheels or 997 C4S? Tyre sizes are 235/35-19 - 295/30-19 Best regards /Peter

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks! Is this a direct fit or do I need spacers? /Peter

POST 5Original post

so do the 997 C4S use 11.5 - 12" wide rear wheels?

POST 6Original post

they still use 11".... but tuners have made 12" wheels for them, even on the 7NB... btw the 7C2 "S" is considered NB. 7C4S is WB.

POST 7Original post

thats why I asked... so the above widths are 11" rears for NB - unless I read that wrong or you missed it....

POST 8Original post

The OP asked if it will fit a 04C4S.... stock 11", et45 (wb), lobster claws are 11", et51(nb).... though it is a NB.... the 7NB is wider than a 6NB but not as wide as as the 6WB.... so yes, it will fit, but will be in the wells about 5mm or so from stock 6wb wheels..... OK now im dizzy. BTW.... nice new avatar, love the contrast!

POST 9Original post

thanks! OK agreed 997S (NB wheels) on a 996 C4s (WB) are both 11 inches wide in the rear Q: If the 997S (NB) uses 11" wide rears, do the 997 C4S (WB) cars come with something wider than 11" (like 11.5-12 or wider) - not trying to make it difficult... be it's just what I do best

Both front and rear will fit without spacer, but adding a 5mm or 7mm spacer will make the offset closer to stock on both the front and rear.

Quotes source post: 8236779

yes.... just recently though, gt2rs is 12", though they are 19". The 2010 WB are still 11".... I believe the tires havent caught up with the wheels yet.

POST 13Original post

sorry for this stupid question, but why are they referred to as "lobster claws"?

POST 14Original post

Quotes source post: 8239752

just look at 2 spokes..... see the claws.

POST 15Original post

Quotes source posts: 8239752, 8239835

Actually, they are more acurately known as "Lobster Forks" not Lobster Claws. Look at the end of one spoke, it looks like a lobster fork (left and right in pic).
