TT uses spacers?

Just read a post on the other forum regarding a guy who put the new TT wheels on his 4S. He had to use a 15mm spacer in the rear for the wheel to fit properly. Since both the TT and 4S are equally wide, I don't see why you would need the spacers unless the 997 turbo will use spacers???

Arling.....that's what I thought too. But this guy had Wheel Enhancement do the swap from his stock C4S wheels to the "only set in the US" 997TT wheels. Maybe W.E. can shed some light on this???

Hey, the more important question......why would anyone 'want' to put those wheels on anything?

I think a spacer will be needed if the 997tt wheels are going on a 996c4s. The 997 wide bodies have a rear offset is 51mm compared to 996 widebody of 45mm!
