Hi, need advice please .... i own a 911 996 (1998) with standard 17" alloys and would like to put 18" turbos on with appropriate tyres to match - would like to know the advantages of upgrading to larger alloys/tyres and is it worth it ? Thanks, Mart. Migration info. Legacy thread was 85058

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.

The ride will be a bit firmer, but you should get more grip with the wider tyres. You won't be able to put Turbo wheels directly onto your car, as they have a different offset... You can get Turbo 'look' wheels with the correct offset... G. Migration info. Legacy thread was 85062

and it does help resale as 18's are a desirable option.... but no bigger and of course they look better....... Migration info. Legacy thread was 85213
The set i'm looking at have come off a 1999 model 996 so i should be ok - they are 18" - rim 8J (front) and 10J (rear). Cheers Migration info. Legacy thread was 85217
Ah, They'll be the 993 Turbo twist look ones then.... Nice, they'll suit the car well.. G. Migration info. Legacy thread was 85219
8J fronts are a better width than the 7.5Js often found... Migration info. Legacy thread was 85236
