Hey guys, Quick question....Im looking at some wheels (oem 997s wheels to be exact) But i want to make sure they will fit my 2001 NB 996. They are listed as OEM 997S with 57 and 67 mm offsets? Im dont know much about this "offset" business. Does anyone know if they are OK???

Thanks in advance!!!

 

front/rears offset, what size?

 

19" and i believe the front is 57mm and the rear is 67mm

Lol...here is the info

Should work,

Do a search for my brother's car "newport996". I believe he is running 997 19" wheels with no problem.

Yep.............those are the same wheels my brother is running!

newport is my inspiration I LOVE his car. I want mine to look alot like his except w/ a techart front bumper and skirts. Lol i hope he wont be upset.

If i remember correctly he has a c4 though...not a c2. So i didn't know if that made a difference?!?

 

Careful the 997 Carrera Sport Designs are agressive at 11" wide. Running a 295 may have you thinking twice. I think a better set up would be running a 285, just my .02 since you do have a narrow body. The C4S has wide hips not the C4 althought the weight is still there.

6000 miles?...tires might be worn...how about this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Porsc...mZ200081283186
new setup, they will fit... fronts might even need a 15mm spacers

 

Yes they'll fit.

It's the same set up I have on my C2 cab.

I would keep shopping, the price is too high. I bought mine on ebay for $2000, brand new (wheels and tires). I've seen them going for $2000 - $2200 so if you're not in a rush keep looking.

11" rears are no problem at all with that offset.....remember 996 GT3's are narrow bodies with 11" rears....Yes I run 997 rims and 997 tires sizes...

 

John,

What size spacers did you end up using up front?

Cheers,
Stan

 

15mm spacers up front....

 

I wont get upset.....just dont drive it in SoCal or else.....

 

Do you think 18mm will work or do the 15mm fill to the max?

 

18mm will probably work....thats not a huge difference...I will have to look at my car and see how much room there is...but 15mm looks great.....
