Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

I run 18x8.5 40mm offset and 18x10 47.5 offset on my 996 and looks great so I can imagine this being a problem with the above....however, I do have the car suspension set for the track which has a negative camber and thus fits flush with the wheels wells.

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.

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

GT5 Wheels, styled after the Gemballa GT sport wheel, one piece, cast Front wheel: 19x8.5", 5x130 bolt pattern, 45mm offset, 1.375" stainless chrome lip Rear wheel: 19x10", 5x130 bolt pattern, 50mm offset, 2.25" stainless chrome lip Hankook V12 tires (235/35/19 and 275/30/19) I want to get these for my 1999 996 convertible but have no idea if they will work.

POST 2Original post

I run 18x8.5 40mm offset and 18x10 47.5 offset on my 996 and looks great so I can imagine this being a problem with the above....however, I do have the car suspension set for the track which has a negative camber and thus fits flush with the wheels wells. I also run with wider tires 245 and 285. Don't know what it would look like for street alignment.

POST 3Original post

Those are wide body offsets. The fronts will probably be ok but the rears may rub. I tried 18x10 with 48 offsets, 265/40-18 on my car a few years ago and had major rubbing, rolled the fenders and they still rubbed.

POST 4Original post

My 996 is lowered and a C2 (NB). How does it fit in my case? I have experienced no rubbing on the track....

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Yeah, the rears to rub. Dang... Thanks!

POST 6Original post

I was able to put Porsche Sport Design wheels off a 2005 997S on my 99 C2 Cab. My Cab is lowered and equipped with 2004 GT3 Take off Shocks,Struts and Swaybars. I think this will get you to the link I posted. It is close but does not rub. The GT3 suspension is very stiff so may not allow for enough movement to rub but so far no wear marks or rubbing noises. This set up really updated the look of my 996. This is a 19X11 wheel with a 295 wide tire. the wheel is labeled with a 67 off set. My description is a little off in the post. My 99 does not have the inner fender rolled that is standard on 2002 from the factory. Cfaydo10 Title of Post Things you can do to a 99 C2 Cab - GT3 Suspension - 997S Wheels
