I have these same rims on my car, but run the stock tire size of 225/40/18 front and 265/35/18 rear. If I had to do it again, I would go for the 235/40/18 front and 285/30/18 rear.


Also, I use the factory 5mm spacers in the front with the longer factory lug bolts to have a similar track as to the original rims.

They sure are lighter than the Turbo twists I used to have a look a lot better in my opinion.

The rear spacers are far too think- it looks ridiculous to have the wheels sticking out beyond the sheet metal. They should sit a little inside given an aggressive camber.

I have 997 wheel on my 996. My indi mechanic thinks the rims make my car look updated. I'm much happier with the 997 wheel than my old turbo rims.

Now I need to paint my faded caliper and get some colored wheel crest!
