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.

Bit of a noobie question but....
Ever since i bought my Porsche 6 weeks ago ive wanted to put lobster claw alloys on it
its a facelift 2002 c2 996
My question is,seeing as how my current wheels are 18 inch and the car feels like a bloody boneshaker would putting lobster claws on it make the ride worse as they tend to be 19 inch ?
Also is there a certain type of lobster claw alloy i should be looking for regarding them fitting correctly as i notice some rears are wider than fronts. or is that the norm on all 911 alloys?
If not i may put Turbo twists on it or do they hold any issues ?
I just literally want to remove old wheels and swap for new wheels with no trouble at all
thank you
19's were never fitted from factory and yes rears are wider. Your current ones will be. What type are they?
The ride is likely to be a bit harsher, and the wheels will weigh more which affect steering/ handling responses.
Which type of turbo twists do you mean, those fitted to gen 1 3.4's or the later C4S/turbo gen 2's.
Although looking the same the later turbo ones differ as the C4s ones have solid spokes, turbos are hollow. These are lighter/more expensive.
...tbh buddy if you want to make the most of the delicate and tactile steering and handling characteristics of a 996 you are heading in the wrong direction...17's are optimal...18's o.k. but 19's ... not suited to the chassis...
...but each to their own :thumbs:
I have 19's on mine and find the handling perfectly acceptable and not too harsh.
These are significantly lighter than the 18's it came with.
This was a personal style over substance choice though.
