I have just fitted the 18" Sport Techno's to a narrow body 996 Carrera4 without any problems and have been told by Porsche that I can lower the car 30mm all round and will still hot have a problem with the wheels fouling the bodywork.

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.

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

Will the 18 inch 996 Turbo wheels fit a narrow body 996?

POST 3Original post

I have just fitted the 18" Sport Techno's to a narrow body 996 Carrera4 without any problems and have been told by Porsche that I can lower the car 30mm all round and will still hot have a problem with the wheels fouling the bodywork. Are the Turbo wheels running larger tyres that the 18" Sport Techno's? Mine are 225/40 at the front and 295/30 at the rears (11" wide). Ollie

POST 4Original post

I�ve undestanded that you can fit 996TT wheels, but use maximum 285�s on the rear...

POST 5Original post

Sport Techno wheels are designed to fit narrow body cars. People who have them on wide-body cars use wheel spacers. Personally, I would never use wheel spacers, especially on a Porsche. In addition to potential safety concerns in extreme situations, spacers add extra unsprung weight which compromises handling performance.

POST 6Original post

You can put a 996TT wheel on a narrow body but no matter what you do, the rear wheel will stick out beyond the fender line. The offset is incorrect.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
