They might be able to do it but they wont change its current set up.

Suggestion
I thought the big advantage of 3 piece wheels is that they are modular - so if you damage the outer rim, you can just replace the outer instead of the whole wheel.

Suggestion
You would have to drop down to the old 265 width tire (which was also used on a 10" wheel) to be able to use the 9.5" wheel.

Your exactly right, that's why I didn't say that you can also use your factory tires for them because they are smaller in width.

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.

18" x 8.0" et50, 18" x 9.5" et55 Special pricing of $2866.00 with FREE shipping! List $3640.00 plus cost of special finishing. These were special ordered for a customer and never picked up. Fitment is for 996 Carrera.
Sure, BBS states they are "for" a 996.....meaning they will "fit" a 996.
However, the Carrera rears are 10". Further, a 9.5" rim does not accommodate a 285 tire that is also stock. You would have to drop down to the old 265 width tire (which was also used on a 10" wheel) to be able to use the 9.5" wheel.
The Boxster runs a 265 rear in the optional 18" size. However, I am not as familiar with the offsets of the Boxster so I can't speak to fitment.
Your exactly right, that's why I didn't say that you can also use your factory tires for them because they are smaller in width. They do offer the tens for the rear if you or anyone else is interested, we would just have to special order a whole new set of wheels because then that would leaves us with two 9.5's. Thanks for your 2cents
With these wheels, can't you just order the outer rim halves required to make them 10" or wider? I thought the big advantage of 3 piece wheels is that they are modular - so if you damage the outer rim, you can just replace the outer instead of the whole wheel. Or in this case, swap out the outer rim halves for wider ones and bolt 'em on.
Not sure if they will Fit the GT3 Kit, they were made for a 996 carrera,
We have already asked if BBS would resize them to be bigger but they won't do it. They might be able to do it but they wont change its current set up.
so do you guys tuck your t-shirts into your jeans too?
since when do BBS LMs belong on a trans am? those LMs cost more than your trans am and gold finish looks great on black/white cars.
I think that when it comes to the customer and his car, if he paid for the car he can put whatever he wants on it even if no one else think it looks good.
Tee shirts are
underwear
, so yes.
No one here has a Trans Am. The wheels came on the Trans Am, way back when you were an itch in someone's loins.
I couldn't disagree more. Gold looks good on...well, actually, gold doesn't really look good on anything. It's cheesy.
