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.

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

Just looking for a definite set of widths and offsets for a narrow body 996.1 I’m looking at some new 18 inch wheels at the moment and I just want to make sure I’m looking at the right combinations

POST 5Original post

@MARTY - What did you end up deciding on? Just had a track day at Luddenham Raceway and feeling the urge to upgrade! My 996.1 is currently on 17s with 205 front and 255 rears, and based on the day, would like a little more traction. The 18" wheels in the 996.1 handbook suggest Front: 225/40r18 on 7.5x18et50 and 265/35r18 on 10x18et65. The 996.2s have 225/40r18 s on 8x18 and 285/30r18s on 10x18. Is there a difference in the suspension between the .1 and .2 996s? As for tyres, am thinking of PS4Ss or possibly Yokohama AD09. The PS4Ss looks to be still available in 265/35, but not in 285/30... Thoughts?

POST 6Original post

My 996.2 runs 18 x 8.5 front with 235/40 PS2 and 18 x 11 rear with 295/30 PS2 and they fit snug but no rubbing. My rear guards have had a minor lip roll at the top. A friend with a 996.1 was exactly the same rim/tyre width setup. So they do fit.
