I could crawl under there and start measuring and calculating, but I'd rather use someone elses info if they have it.

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.

4 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Any wheel fitment experts out there? I have a 1999 996 C2 with the stock 17 inch rims with 255/45's on it in back & 205/50's in the front. Looking at newer model 997 rims, when am I going to run into rubbing problems? I could crawl under there and start measuring and calculating, but I'd rather use someone elses info if they have it. So in short, is something like this: 997 Carrera S II out of the question? THANKS

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I got a response from them today (which I wasn't expecting) and this is what they said...editing out the prices and unnecessary info... .......A pair of 7mm H&R spacers and ten extended length H&R lug bolts, needed to fit the front wheels on your 1999 996 Carrera.....A set of 235/35ZR19 and 315/25ZR19 for tires..... So apparently it is possible....

POST 4Original post

So, I have a 2000 996 C2 with the 18" wheel option. I have the opportunity to go with 19" rims from a 2008 C2. Will there be a clearance issue with these, or a wheel stud length issue? Please reply to [email removed] since I don't check this link that often. Thank you for any help/input.
