I'm looking for spare wheels for winter snows, the car has the stock sport techno wheels. I found a set of Carrera S OEM's online and the offsets are:

Front:51mm
Rear:70mm

Does any on know if these rims will work on the C4S, will I need spacers?
What are the offsets on the sport techno's?

 

The rears won't fit properly without massive spacers. I got aftermarket wheels for my winters and they are +40 in the rear and they fit perfect with no spacers.

 

You will need about a 20mm spacer out back to get a flush look.

The wheels may actually fit, but will sit inside the rear fender.

 

thx guys

 

My 06 997 C4 has 09 P oem turbo wheels and they fit perfect
fronts were marked 51mm
backs were 56mm

 

Which wheel/tires set worked for you on your 991 C4S?

 

I ended up going with these in black:

I went with PA4's. +52 in the rears is stock but they recommended +40 which fit perfectly with no spacers.

The quality of the wheels is good and the price was right for a set of winters.

Here's a quick shot:

 

Thanks for the quick response. Did you buy your set from http://www.getyourwheels.com/? Did they put in the TPMS as well? What should I be looking at for a total cost?

 

Ma991, did you use plastidip on exhaust like lettering? Going to be spraying badges black soon and would also like exhaust tips dark to match. thx

 

Sent you a PM.

 

I sanded the tips lightly and then applied this:

and then the black version of this (can't find it on Amazon right now):

A year later I have to touch up a couple of small places which I will do this summer, I didn't bake it in so it's probably my fault. The tips come off really easily with screw holding them.

I really like the look. I also got some spray paint and did the washer covers up front, same process but not the high heat paint.

Pretty simple DIYs, good luck with yours.
