997 wheels for 996?
I have 997 Carrera S wheels (Lobster folk wheels).
19x8 fronts are et57
19x11 rears are et67
Do they fit to 996? Anyone with this setup?
All comments are welcome!

Do you also have a S?
I bought 997 NB rims for my 996 NB but they didn't fit. Could be a bunch of different things.

You know 996 C4 is wider than 997 C2S. I am sure 997 C2S wheels will fit to 996 C2.

Thank you!
However, some said NB 997 wheels fit to NB 996 and
some said they don't. Who is right?

They fit. I have pictures to prove it. No spacers, no drop. The wheels will fit. These are lobsters, 19x8 fronts are et57, 19x11 rears are et67...
btw, that's a NB 996 and is for sale. LOL!

For those who have had them fit, have you guys changed the suspension on the cars?
It bugs me to no end to see that NB 997 rims fit on your cars, but they don't fit on mine! Other than the fact that I have a C4 and both of you have C2's, unless the suspension is the same, I don't particularly understand why they don't fit on my car.
Are your vehicles 2002 and newer?

Looks like it has worked out for some and not worked out for others.

It would also explain why the Bilstein PSS9/PSS10 part numbers are different for the C2 and C4.
Looks like I'll have to just get a 997 instead
