I know that for certain you'll need 7mm spacers in the front for any 18" NB wheels, and I did 14mm in the rear for my standard turbo twist 18's that I'm running with Blizzak Snowsports.

These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

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.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

  • Rennlist: 1 discussions

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Just bought a 2003 Turbo 6 speed yesterday! Very excited. Dream car. 37k miles Here are some dealer pics: https://imgur.com/z1tSoex https://imgur.com/K9YjzKX https://imgur.com/2MOnMgo https://imgur.com/tWXG0ui I'll be using it as a daily driver. I'll drive around 20-25k miles a year. I need winter tires. I found a set off a 986 Boxster. Does anyone know if these will fit on the Turbo? I've done a search with Boxster owners asking if Twist Turbo wheels will fit on their cars and consensus was rear tires may be too wide. So I'm hoping going smaller will work out for me? Some numbers I see on the wheel: 996.362.124.00 996.362.126.05 8.5 50 The tires are: 205/50/17 255/40/17 Any help is greatly appreciated!

POST 2Original post

I really like this color, its dark enough to be a pain to maintain but its not as plain as just silver.

POST 3Original post

Can't wait to see what the winter does to it! Just did. Thanks for the advice!

POST 5Original post

Just make sure you get spacers. I know that for certain you'll need 7mm spacers in the front for any 18" NB wheels, and I did 14mm in the rear for my standard turbo twist 18's that I'm running with Blizzak Snowsports. Congrats! -Matt
