I can't wait to get the car low to fill the massive fender gaps and tuck the rear tires more.

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.

Well, the wheel purchase didn't work out, the cost was too high.
I am considering a wheel purchase and just needed to confirm offset numbers. The car is a '03 996 C2 and the wheels are 18 x 8 & 10. Offsets are 52 & 65. Will this work? I did a search on this forum and read the info...sounds like it would be fine but its putting the pieces of data together to arrive at that. I appreciate any info.
Best wheels for the money right now are the 18" OZ allegerita.
I bought a set from tirerack, they look very very well done and plenty of colro choice for decent price.
I bought the most aggresive offset, they look very nice and flush.
Sounds fine....you might want a bit more guard fill in the rear via more tyre or rim or less offset.....mine are 50F and 65R with 225 and 265s respectively.

Well, the wheel purchase didn't work out, the cost was too high. Anyone have a set of wheels similar to these for my narrow body pictured above at a good price?

If you're buying Porsche Sport Techno or GT3 wheels, the rear will be 11x18 63mm offset. Rear tires are 295/30ZR18 as specified by Porsche. These will fit a narrow body 996 of any year without fender rolling or modification.
After much effort this weekend I fitted some 11x18 ET45 hollow turbos on my 99 C2 narrow body. 295/30zr18 tires in the rear. Fronts don't matter because they are pretty much universal across the 996 line.
YES I had some rub, so I rolled the fenders. NO more rub.
Tested on all the major LA freeways
Make it work. Its worth it.
OP, those are the Sport Design wheels. OEM made by BBS. if they sold around $500, thats a good price with center caps , no major scratches and if they have no structural damage.
^^@Niceguyeddie, thats a first that I have seen a rear Turbo wheel with OEM 295/30/18 mounted on a NB
that seems to fit well; maybe they stick out just a tad, but that can be fixed with a little negative camber, at the cost of accelerated inner tread wear.
Save the poke for the VW crowd. Glad it worked out for you but I can't bring myself personally to put on wheels tat stick out past the fenders.
Are you running stock camber?
I can't post anymore pics without taking all mine down from the current posts. Here's a dropbox link to many pics:

Seriously though, it does transform the car's appearance. I can't wait to get the car low to fill the massive fender gaps and tuck the rear tires more.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
