Can 17" wheels fit a 996tt?
Can 17" wheels fit a 996tt? I have 'personal issues' with tires, and
I think I have some better options in 17" tires...
thanks,
Joe

I remember a post by a dedicated track guy who had a set of 17's made. I think it was CCW that made the rims. Its been 3-4 years however.

there is a way to fit 17s. right width, offset and backspacing. CCW is the way to go, quality custom wheel at a good price.

Not with the stock turbo 325mm brakes, if you put the 997 350mm brakes forget it.

17" CCWs will fit over stock brakes. BTW stock rotors are 330mm as far as i know.

in my E55 i fit 16" wheels over the rear 335mm rotors and 4 piston calipers.

once again - right offset, right width, right backspacing and design will let you runs a small wheel over big brakes



my buddy Lou's E55 also has 16s from Bogart over the stock big brakes...
