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.

I think you would need wheel spacers as the turbos have wider rear rims and tires. Even then it is possible the wheel may stick out past the edged of the fender. I asked the same question when I first got my 996 and that is what I was told. Now if you had a C4s...

No, spacers won't help. The Turbo rear wheel will sit approximately 6.8 mm (5/16") further away from the innards of the car but will stick out approximately 33.2 mm (1-5/16") from where the stock 10" wheel's outer surface is. The problem would be tire rubbing the fender lips. A spacer would only aggravate the matter.

I looked into the Turbo wheels for my 996 Cab and my serviced advisor says "they're for widebodies". I'm sure they'll eventually come out with "turbo look" rims eventually.
