Seen plenty of 996NB running lobsters, including on this very forum.
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�m checking to see if anyone on here can help with fitment of the 997 Lobster Fork wheels on a 996. The following was done to the car before I purchased it:
Billstein B8 Shocks
Eibach sway bars -

Shock Mounts -

Lower Control Arms (Meyle brand)
Rear Bump Stop
Front shock top mounts
It appears to be lowered but I�m not 100%. Could look that way because it currently has 19� wheels. I don�t like the current set of wheels in the rear because of the offset. I appreciate all the input in advance. Currently running 285/30r19x11in the rear. Can�t go any wider with the tire or it will rub the fender.
997 narrowbody wheels have lower offset than 996, but the fronts I think are more or less the same. Seen plenty of 996NB running lobsters, including on this very forum.

They will work. I ran OEM 997S Lobster wheels for years. 235/35 19 front and 295/30 19 or 305/30 19 rear. 305s in the pictures above.
Front wheels are 19x8 et 57. I ran a 14mm spacer in front. Rear wheels are 19x11 et 67 with no spacer.
Looks great. My car was set up with H&R lowering springs so I'm wondering if I would have any issues with the rears? I did recently install adjustable lower arms in the rear as the camber was maxed. It would be nice to see them on my car before actually making the purchase, but I know that�s a long shot.
My car is on H&R springs/Bilstein B6s in those pictures. You need upper arms for the camber.

my c2 had lobsters when i bought mine, but i switched to the original 408 turbo twists. seemed to have no issues tho, but with US stock height. 032 touring suspension. but personally i just dont think 19s belong on a 996. the chassis was built to have 18s. plenty of people put 19s on the car, but imo they look a bit too big. If youre looking for some tho, have at it, you should be good to go.
