I've seen a few 997 C4s's rolling around in my neighborhood; damn that car looks awesome from the back-- its even wider than some of my old girlfriends. I'm not sure if it's the body of the car or the width of the wheels/tires, or both, but its got that steamroller look from the back, love that look.

What is the wheel/tire set up on the car? What wheel/tire set up do I need to get that steamroller look on my lowered 996TT? GBG

 

i have seen a 335 back tire on a TT with a widebody kit. looked insane!

 

Can someone post a picture of a C4S next to a C2S from the back side by side?

Thx

 

Just from the spec......I believe the body of the S is .91" wider than the 996TT.

 

I think the C4S and TT have the same body

 

Yes...996, the same width..........I was refering to the 997C4s vs GBG's 996TT that he mentioned

 

Sorry, there is nothing you can do to make yours look as wide as a car that is simply wider than yours.

 

Anyone know what the stock wheel/tire set up is on a 997 C4S? (wheel size, off sets, tire size)

 

If you are talking the 19s (Carrera Sport wheel)......that's the 8J front with 235/35........the rear is what's nuts.....in order to not have to make another wheel (rather use the11J 67mm offset wheel from the Carrera S).....Porsche throws a 17mm spacer on that 67 bringing it down to about 51 (where the Turbo is).....tire is 305/30 on that 11J.

 

Thanks

 

You could run 315/25/19 on the back. I've recieved plenty of "nice ***!" compliments on my car running this setup.

 

yep.....315/25 is still most common 19 people run..........and most effective (IMHO) if offset is dropped to around 30.
Good for bling.......they would not be my track set-up.
