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

hey all, just picked up a '99 996c2 a couple of days ago after owning ( and loving ) a boxster for a few years. man, the power diffference is incredible and intoxicating! the 996 isn't quite as "tossable" as the boxster but the power makes up for it. so here begin the mods. the car came with crappy 17" porsche wheels so upgrading is in order. after doing some research for the widest tire/wheel i can run, it seems i can run 18x11 295/30-18. does this mean i can run turbo 2's? i really dig these wheels, nice and aggressive but will it cause any rubbing? are the offsets the same as a c2? anyone knows the offsets for a c2 and turbo2 wheels? anyone running turbo 2s on their narrow body 996 thx all carlos in campbell, CA

POST 2Original post

You can't use the Turbo II rear wheels (ET45) on a narrow body 996. However, you can use 11" wheels with the proper offset. Porsche has one with a 63 mm offset called Sport Techno and the same with the GT3 wheel.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

thx for the reply viken, could i not use the turbo 2 wheel ET45 and use a 20mm spacer to bring the wheel out and effectively get ET65? carlos

POST 4Original post

No, you cannot. Because, a 45 mm offset with a 20 mm spacer equals a 25 mm offset. A spacer pushes a wheel out and not in.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

gotcha! the search for wheels continues carlos

POST 6Original post

I think the Turbo2 wheels are available for narrow bodies, but only 10" rear as stated above... http://www2.us.porsche.com/english/u...dertabelle.htm There are quite a few sizes of the Turbo IIs from what I have seen... Rears: 18x12 ET45 solid spoke for GT2 18x11 ET45 hollow spoke for Turbo 18x11 ET45 solid spoke for C4S 18x10 ET65 solid spoke for C2 Fronts: 18x8.5 ET40 solid spoke for GT2 18x8 ET50 hollow spoke for Turbo 18x8 ET50 solid spoke for C4S 18x8 ET52 solid spoke for C2 Please correct me if I'm mistyped anything... -Scott
