Wheels size for 991.1 T

Looking to change the wheels size to my 2015 Turbo.
At the moment I'm with 20' and would like to go with 18' but not sure if it will fit my car.
does someone here have the experience with that.
Thank you.

No. If you have the steel brakes you can go to 19". You can go 19" rear with the PCCBs but you will need to shave off the dust shields unless you have the 2014 model.

Why would you want to go to 18s?

jeolesen is an unknown quantity at this point

Not to highjack the thread. But are you saying 19s are ok on a 2014 Turbo?

Harry Da Hamster has much to be proud of

19s will fit a Turbo with standard brakes. As a general rule of thumb, you need 20's to fit a Turbo with PCCBs though some 19s are designed to fit such as the HRE R101LW and Forgeline GA1R though it'll be extremely close and you would need to trim the brake rotor shields

18" will not fit, not a chance. Brakes on the Turbo are MASSIVE, so we would actually recommend sticking with 20"s. Of all the 991 Turbo customers we have, which are literally HUNDREDS, only 2 orders I see are 19", meaning the other hundreds of orders we have for this car are going to be either 20" or 21".

Why do you want 18"s that 19"s wouldn't give you?

I'm assuming weight is of a lot of importance to you if you want to move down to 18's.

A 19" R101 Lightweight by HRE would be at 20 lbs and under. That alone is incredible and worth considering 19's for.
