Hi guys,

Im looking to buy a set of 997 Turbo wheels for my 996 turbo.
I want original OEM wheels, i have some questions

1) How can i see if the wheels im about to buy are original OEM 997 turbo wheels ? (stickers? inprint on the wheels? part nr?)

2) Do i need spacers, what sizes, 7mm front and 15mm rear ?
3) Whats best, to put 305/30/19" or 315/25/19" ?

4) Can somone upload pictures of their original wheels with part number and stuff like that, so i know where to look on the wheels when i buy them ?

5) Best tire brand to use on these wheels ? Michelin Pilot Sport SP2 ?

Anything elles i need to know before buying them ?

Thanks alot

Edit:

This is what i found:

997 wheels

997 352 156 02 (05)
997 362 162 02

11Jx19H2 ET51
8Jx19H2 ET57

8,5x19H2 ET55

Made in Germany

How come there is both 8x19" and 8,5x19" ?

 

Tire sizes should be 235/35/19 front and 315/25/19 rear to minimize differences in rotations per mile. I just bought a set of 997 turbo rims and plan to go with nitto invos. I also am not sure about spacers but I plan go be giving Damon a call at tire rack since he knows what's up.

 

These are the tires sizes I went with for exactly that reason. Spacers are 7/14. Take a look at the pics to see fitment.

I put Nitto Invo's on my car with 19" BBS CH-R in those exact tire sizes, and I have a PSM issue, I've only noticed the issue on a long sweeping right hander near my office.

I tried resetting the steering angle with the Durametric with no success. Outside of that, I haven't re-aligned since moving to 19's yet. Car had been aligned with 18's last year.

Let me know how Invo's work out for you.

 

Just my 2-cents, there is not much reason of going to 19" wheel except for the look. Not mentioning the performance, tire (brand) selections are so limited due to the tire sizes and have you seen the $$$$$ of them?

 

Just bought these from another member on the Porsche Club Sweden
