996 turbo twist wheels on a 997 turbo?

Will 996 18" turbo twist wheels fit a 997 turbo?
Thanks,
Mike

yes, I used them for the track. Basically the offsets have the effect of 5mm spacers all the way around.

Russellnyc is infamous around these parts

Anyone use these for snows? I am getting a set for free for my 997TT and would hate to have to buy a third set of rims for winter. Tirerack says 265 on 11" is too much of a stretch.

Nobody has done this? Do I need to buy a dedicated narrower set of winter wheels.

Anything less than 295 is too small for 11". Know from experience. Good luck with the find.

Get some c4s lobsterforks, they will handle 265's without issue(19s). Honestly, there are several snows in 19s avalable, even in 295. I run 295 snows on my oem 997tt (19s)rims all winter long, in all kinds of snow, does just fine.
