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.

9 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Does anyone know whether you can put 993 18" wheels on a 996 (offset, etc) 7.5 x 18 in front and 10 x 18 at back (I have a C4S). Thanks.

POST 2Original post

Depends (like you hinted to) on the offset. What is the offset of the wheels you are looking at?

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Not sure, they are Porsche OEM. I will try to find out from the guys who is selling them. Thanks for the prompt response.

POST 4Original post

Very welcome. Just get back to us with the offsets and we can go from there.

POST 5Original post

not likely, narrow body 993s can usually exchange with narrow body 996s. The C4S being a widebody you would be able to use spacers in the rear to extend to the offset that you need.

POST 6Original post

Yes - i have 993 # wheels on my car, Hollow turbo Is... if you search you will find my model#s

POST 7Original post

Sponge is your car a 996? If so I have the 17mm spacers you need in the rear for narrow body wheels. Steve

POST 8Original post

Shameless Plug: I've got 17"'s widebody from a 993tt for sale. See the For Sale ads and search for gjb. Thanks. Grant

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks. I will see if the wheels are still available and if need be, will PM you.
