And, what would you reccomend as a starting point for track use(street tires) keeping in mind that with OneLap rules you run no more than four laps before pitting.

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

The 996 turbo and 996 uses the same offset for the front so yes they fit.

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 have stock five spoke turbo look wheels on my car now and am running 245 RA-1s. Does anyone know if the lighter hollow spoke turbo front wheels will fit and if so, what is the widest tire I can fit? Thanks.

POST 2Original post

The 996 turbo and 996 uses the same offset for the front so yes they fit. I think you have the widest up front at 245.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thanks. I am running OneLap again this year and am looking to shed a few lbs on the front wheels after adding TT brakes and GT3 wheel carriers. TT wheels seem like a good, low cost, choice as you can pick them up very cheap used and I will not have to buy new rear wheels.

POST 4Original post

what are you running for the the rears (you could go as large as a 315mm with the right offset on an 11'')

POST 5Original post

If you're about weight loss why not the 5 spokes? they're the lightest oem rim as far as I know other than magnesium cup rims. 10 rear though v 11 rear turbo rims. When I fitted the turbo rims in the rear of my c2 however they stuck out too much from the offset making it look silly.

POST 6Original post

You could fit them but the rears will tend to stick out a little bit, IMHO.

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I would love to get the 5 spoke but: 1) I can get a smoking deal on some turbo rims and 2)With the turbo rim they look enough like the rims that I have that I will not have to buy new rears. My current RA-1 street tires are 275/40. I am planning to run 295s in OneLap.

POST 8Original post

well then are you going to get solid spokes for the front then? It will upset the balance probably either way if they're hollow spokes if they don't match etc.

POST 9 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Good question and i do not know the answer. However, having added LOTS of weight to the front end in the form of TT calipers, rotors and GT3 carriers it is hard to imagen how taking a few pounds off with hollow spokes would upset the balance. Also, since I have the PSS9s I will corner balance the car with the new wheels.

POST 10Original post

Porsche does make hollow spoke turbo twist wheels for the narrow body cars.

POST 11 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well, now this brings me back full circle. I know that the hollow spoke rears will not fit a narrow body but will hollow fronts work? Also, my car is specs 44lbs if air rear and if memory serves, 34 or 36 front. I was told that the GT3 runs something like 39 rear and 32/34 front. If this is correct, why? And, what would you reccomend as a starting point for track use(street tires) keeping in mind that with OneLap rules you run no more than four laps before pitting. Therefore, I do not think that the tires will ever get heated to race temps. Thanks.
