I am planning on getting a 997S next year and am hoping to be able to keep using the wheels with the new car.

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

I would like to get a set of OEM 18" track wheels and tires for my 02 996 C2. I am planning on getting a 997S next year and am hoping to be able to keep using the wheels with the new car. Will 8"x18" et52 and 10"x18" ET65 fit a 997S? TIA for any help.

POST 3Original post

May be a better question for the 997 board. Fitment may very well be different for both models.

POST 4Original post

From what I have heard, the 996 and 997 wheels are NOT interchangeable.

POST 5Original post

For a 997S, you would probably need a 2" spacer in the rear! The regular 997 is a widebody like the 996 Turbo, and the 997S is even wider... The 65 offset is already a little tucked in on the 996...

POST 8Original post

The offset for 997 18" wheels are: Front: 57 mm Rears: 58 mm 996 18" wheels are generally: Front: 50 or 52 mm Rears: 63 or 65 mm

POST 11Original post

Wheels or everything? The wheel specs are in the owners manual - that is where I got them from.

POST 12Original post

Curious about the offset on the rears of a 997S since it's wider. I don't have a 997, so I don't have that owners manual.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
