I am looking to buy a spare tire for my 03 996tt I have a part no.
from dealership (996.362.150.01)
I need to know if this is a (15" rim) and offsets etc.
also is there other part no. that will work?

I will go in the hood under the, there is a place under the carpet
where it will go.


Thanks in advance for any help

 

My 03' has a 16" space saver spare with part number 996.362.150.00, tire size 165/70/16

 

Don't know for sure, I'd ask Loren at RennTech, but my PET says for an 03:
996.362.050.00

 

IIturbo...Thanks, Great help...now i just have to find one for a decent price

 

You might want to also consider the Porsche compressor. If you get a flat in the middle of nowhere, you will need it. Had to use mine once. Saved me a huge towing charge as I was 2 hours from a place I could get the regular tire fixed.

 

i have a compressor if you need one

 

Dumb question...does that space saver tire need to be inflated? I assume yes and that's why there is mentioned the need for a compressor. I wondered this when I looked at my spare recently.

 

32krazy i do not have enough posts to send private messages.. but interested in the compressor

 

tbtunes@bellsouth.net is my email. make me an offer
yes the tire needs to be inflated. thats why your flat tire won't fit in the same space when you use the spare

 

The Porsche compressor is very small and fits into the hub of the spare. I don't remember for sure, but I also seem to remember that there was something unique about the way the compressor attaches to the spare when inflating it - but I could be wrong. It's also a good idea to keep a large garbage bag with the tire and compressor. If you ever have to put your flat in the car, put it in the bag to keep you car clean.

 

Put up a WTB ad in the Marketplace. I'm sure there are plenty of guys with one laying around.

 

what kind of compressor do you have? model.

 

I'm going to purchase compressor - adding to my list.

 

mine is the oem porsche compressor cant tell you any more than that. ill hunt a part # when i get home

 

I have a never used OEM spare for the 996TT that I can sell.
