I like them - curious on the width of the front and rear compared to the stocker. This will determine if spacers are needed or not.

Cool

No spacers needed.

They are built to stock offsets - +50f & +45r.

I found a guy who was club racing and had them on his track car for one event. He decided to install a huge racing brake set up and they wouldn't fit. They are in excellent shape and I picked them up for about 50% of ordering them new!

glowone - Top pic is of the rear, and 2nd pic is of the front (sitting at the front).

Waiting on new tires to get here so I can mount them up!
Nope....not weenies!! they will look awesome on your car. are you going to drop it a bit??

Thanks....I was just joking cause a lot of people have to have 19-20's for looks. I think the 996 is small enough that 18's are fine. JMO

See the last line of the first post.....PSS9's next!!!

it will be interesting to see what they look like once you do the PSS9s. I found the width of my stock wheels/offset on my 99 were too narrow once I lowered mine. 15mm spacers were needed. I would like to find a wheel 18 or 19 that is wide enough to fill the fender wells w/o spacers. I would need stock size + the 15mm to get this result with a 18in wheel.
I really like the design of these BBS wheels - mount them up and take some pics for me.

Oh....I see what you are saying now.

A little more agressive offfset would prob work fine to push them out a bit.

Unfortunately, BBS only builds the stock ones for this wheel...unless you want to custom order for BIG $$$$$$$.

Hey ....you live just up the road (i'm in Roswell/Alph).....after I get them on, let's get together for a beer one day, talk cars, and you can check them out in person!

on the c4s, you're able to fit 12"/315/25/19s on there, but with those bbs 18" wheels... i'm betting your rears are pretty narrow and not even 11".

sure you got a great deal, but why bother getting wheels that don't really fit all that great?

Thanks for your input Mr Positive.....I know you will popo anything that is not 19"....I've read your other posts on being a wheel expert.

They are a full 11"+, I saw them mounted on the car, and I thought they looked great. I'm happy, so that's "Why I Bothered"
