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.

I ran the 17s on my car one track day, although the tires are somewhat narrow.
Leading evidence: 'Run 17s' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'sizing' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Run 17s' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.
Source reports, not a diagnosis or a success probability. Counts refer to discussions and can overlap.

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.

I got sold similar with good all seasons (read: crappy for summer but OK in spring and fall cooler temps) for $750 cash and carry this past summer. I thought the price was fair.
I have an identical set with the same offset. They were apparently the base set of wheels that came on my March 1998 build C2. Not a big surprise to me that they are the same wheels used on the 993, since the 993 was still in production when my 996 was built.
I�m pretty sure previous owner just put these on as they aren�t standard wheels. Spacers are required to use them. They do look similar though to the spec wheels. A few experts in the 993 forum think they were standard 996 wheels.
My wheels didn't come with spacers. No clearance issues with my calipers. I did note that one edge of my calipers had the paint scraped off and it is possible they were either scuffed or slightly modified many years ago since the wheels only clear that edge by a few millimeters. The wheels do not have any evidence of contact with the calipers.
I ran the 17s on my car one track day, although the tires are somewhat narrow. 205 on the front and 255 on the rear, as I recall. I now have a set of the Sport Design and 996.2 GT3 wheels, although I need to roll my rear fender lips to fit the GT3 wheels and tires.
