https://www.6speedonline.com/forums/...lli-tires.html

will these fit a standard 1999 Porsche 996 car? I have a buyer that purchased on my ebay link but wants to add to his 996 and want them to fit OK for him etc...

any words of wisdom is size and offset will work? less looking for a 20' wheel debate on a 996 and more on fit. Thanks all
Steve

They will fit but 58et rear is RIGHT on the edge for a NB and to play it safe, you might wanna provide a disclaimer that rear fender rolling and/or increased negative camber maybe needed but doubtful.

Just as a reference, 19x11 et63 997 factory wheels fit fine on 996. The ones you have are 5mm closer to the outside of the car.

alpine003, interesting to find out that a 19" wheel can actually fit on a NB 996, I guess it all depends on a proper width and offset, have you had any reference for the 997 Carrera S II?
Appreciate any suggestions, thanks

997 Carrera S II has the lower turbo offsets and will only be optimal for a 996 WB model.
