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

Will they fit a narrow body 996? From what I�ve found, it appears yes but figured I would ask the experts. Thanks.

POST 2Original post

They will fit but will stick out past the body....here is the math. narrow body offset is i think 65 mm offset vs 45mm for wide body. That is 20mm difference or the wheel sticks out 20mm more from centerline Also, for the narrow body I think all OEM wheels are 10" wide other than OEM gt3. For wide body the OEM wheel is 11"...so the difference is 25.4 mm. So since we are calculating how much the outer surface sticks out we take half of that and add it to the offset difference....12.7mm 20mm + 12.7mm = 32.7mm ​​​​or about 1.3 inches so the outer surface of the wheel will stick out about 1.3" beyond where it is now if you have an OEM wheel without spacers.... Btw...this is the calc for rear only....front is the same offset for both so that will be fine

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

So it sounds like the front will work but the back won't because they will hit? Is that correct? Is there a fix for that? Thanks for the reply.

No u need to buy the correct offsets. There r some repro, not hollows out there but they wont be 100% match. The price we pay for norrow hips. On an 11" wheel u want a 60-63 et like the factory sport technos. Thats what i have my car, they r hollow and the same weight as the twists. The lighest that porsche made.

POST 5Original post

Turbo wheels will fit in the rear, but you'll want to run slightly stretched tires (285s instead of the normal 295s). It's also advised that you roll the fenders, and you'll probably need a little extra negative camber. Quite a few people have done it.

Holy crap that looks great

POST 9Original post

I agree they can fit but at a price. I did run some 19" wheels with 285/30 with 40et. I had to run 2.6* if camber, roll the fenders, trim the bumper and it still hit on hard bumps with new bumpstops.

POST 10Original post

Yes, at that point it�s really about how much camber and body modifications you are willing to do.
