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 - according to the Porsche manual, it says my wheels are: Front: 8J x 18H2 Rear: 10J (or 11J) x 18H2 But I've got a line on some wheels as follows (in the vendor's words): "8 x 18 fronts ET 57 and 10 x 18 ET 58. (ET= amount in mm that wheel goes into wheel well)." As far as I know, these came off a regular Carrera. Please help, they are a screaming deal and I don't want to miss them if I can! Thx!

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

They are the "Carrera III" wheels from the 997 series, specs are: Front: 8J x 18 ET 57 Rear: 10J x 18 ET 58 This is what they look like:

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Oh, and just to clarify, I am not asking for views as to whether it "looks" okay, I just want to know if they're mechanically compatible.

Yes, they are compatable and will fit on your car. However, if you want the face of the wheels to sit in approximately the same position as your current wheels, you will need to: add 7mm spacers to the front if you currently have 10" wide rear wheels, add 13mm spacers to the rears OR if you currently have 11" wide rear wheels, add 26mm spacers to the rears You will also need to get longer wheel bolts for front and rears.
