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 17" boxter wheels fit on a 99 996 C4? Trying to get a cheap set of winter wheels :P. thanks, Amir

POST 2Original post

They are 8.5" ET 50 if that helps. 987 wheels have different offsets, but I believe the front is kinda off for a 986/996.

POST 3Original post

They will fit but the offset isn't quite right, they sit a little inside the fenders, as I recall.

POST 4Original post

I use them for my winter tires on a 01 C2.... they look fine, actually think they look pretty good. http://www.pbase.com/rcg412/image/63218785 http://www.pbase.com/rcg412/image/63218786

POST 5Original post

I have a set of 18" wheels and winter tires that came off a C4S. I believe these might be made spefically for a "wide body" car but I thought I'd let you know abou them anyway. The wheels are Mille Miglia Cup 3 and are in great shape. The tires are Dunlop WinterSport 2 and are: fronts are 225/40/18, rears are 265/35/18. THe tires have 500 miles on them. I live in NH but travel down your way often so they could be delivered. I am asking $1200.

POST 6Original post

I ran 17" rims on my 01 C4. I used 6mm spacers and you can use 15mm spacers for the rears.

POST 7Original post

NH911- What are the offsets on the wheels. It is shown on the back of the wheels, usually says 18x8 ET50 or something to that effect. Widebody's usually have a 48 or 50 on the rear, which doesn't work on a narrow body. Depending what you have I have a buddy looking for whhels and snows.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

NH911: Email me with some details...like why you selling...I'm seriously interested: [email removed] ALL: Way cool...so Boxter wheels work . thanks, Amir
