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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Dear all, I have Porsche Carrera 4S - 2003 Model , It's Come with the 18" Wheels, And I want to change the original Wheels with (997 Turbo style wheels) It's come with two sizes 19" & 18" . I will go with 18" . What make me confused? That I found so many brands on e-Bay like : 1- Eurowheelsusa with cost of 799$ set of 4. 2- Italy-Wheels Store(After Market) With cost of 795$ set of 4. 3- Eurobodykitsandwheels Store With cost 895$ set of 4 . 4- MP Auto Sports Store with cost 1099$ set of 4 . I don't know which one should I choose and what is the best? Any optional part needed for fitment? Your help and advice is highly appreciated.

POST 2Original post

I had a look at the various stores and the 18" rear wheel it's not the same width as a C4S rear wheel. It's 10" vs 11" They appear to come in either 46mm or 65mm offsets. The 65mm is sized for std C2 and C4 I'm not sure which would be best but I'd guess it would need a 10mm spacer with the 65mm offset or an 18mm one with the 46mm offset to make it look right in a C4S wide arch. Your best bet is to talk directly to the retailers as all of them look like they shift quite a few wheels so might know what they are talking about. The correct wheel size and offsets for the C4S are Front 8J x 18 ET 50 Rear 11J x 18 ET 45 The ones online are the same size and offset as std C2 and C4 18" wheels Front 8J x 18 ET 50 Rear 10J x 18 ET 65 I wouldn't bother with a 19" wheel they do fit but the 996 never had 19" as an option and you'll most likely upset the handling balance and ride quality.
