? 997 turbo wheels on 996 turbo
Can I replace my GT3 wheels (18") on my 996 turbo (X-50) with 997 turbo wheels? Would I need to do any modifications?

thanks

I agree.

You need spacers for the rear.

Definitely can do it with spacers. I thought about it but ultimately went with Champion RS98s. Email Wheel Ehnancement (site sponsor) and they will give you the scoop. http://www.wheelenhancement.com/inde...lDetail&id=170

I bought my car with the wheels so I'm not positive but I think the rear are 13mm spacers. I love the way they look.
