Hello guys

just got my new to me 09 997.2 base.. and now thinking of mods looking in to buy a 19" set of wheels oem, I think the 08 and previews models have different tpms but not sure, can some one tell me if the turbo wheels fit narrow body?

thankss

 

Porsche does offer a narrow body version of the 997.1 turbo wheels if that's your question.

 

thanks I thought it was just one version, with the 51mm offset

 

If you're a member of renntech.org, you can download the order guide for 2008 Carerra and you'll see the turbo wheel is an option. Not stated there but I know that the rear wheel does have the correct narrow body offset - IIRC 67mm.

 

thanks for the info

 

You can run the turbo wheels with the 51 mm offset, that's what I'm running. Really flush rear look and probably the best fit with a 295 tire - I'm running OEM turbo with a 305. The narrow body turbo rims are very hard to find.

 

thanks for the info RyeM3, are yours flush or sticking out? I was thinking the 305 too, so no rubbing? by any chance do you have a pic..

 

I recently ordered a set of 19" OEM Carrera S II wheels from Wheel Enhancement to replace my 18" Carrera IVs. Very pleased with the look, and I switched the TPMS from my stock wheels to the new wheels with no problems.

Give Wheel Enhancement a call. Very professional and they know their stuff.

 

I love my Carerra S II wheels more than any other stock whhel I have had on my cars . In fact I removed the Turbo wheels off my Turbo within the first 1500 miles and replace them with Hre Comp wheels but I decided to leave my 997S alone . In my opinion Porsche really upped the ante in styling on the newer cars although the Turbo wheel is a great quality wheel --just looks a little too Corvette ish with the design for my taste.

 

I like all porsche wheels, right now I have stock 18" carrera IV I think thats the model, but I would like to get either carrera classic love those wheels too

 

Carerra classic would be my second choice . I do like them --timeless and traditional.

 

if I go with the classic style doing the 51mm offset and the 295 tire does it rub? maybe a flush or should it be best to get the correct offset

 

ive got a set of wide body carrera classics ie 51 offset on rear, which fit perfectly on the narrow body if you are interested let me know

 

The TT wheels fit with the 305's no problem, that's what I'm running. No rubbing. Very flush fit, would probably look nicer with 295s. The biggest plus is the 8.5" fronts, which really help the handling.
Oh, got mine from wheels boutique. Totally cool guy and got an incredible deal on Oem take offs.

 

Not long ago, I purchased a set of pre-owned GT3 wheels from a 6Speed member. The are very wide (12") and a bit heavy, but are strong and (to me) totally beautiful. Looks great on the white cab and I've gotten quite a few unsolicited comments about them. Much better price than quality aftermarket wheels and their weight notwithstanding, coming from Porsche for the GT3's I suspect they have excellent build quality.
The only thing that I would prefer over going this route again would be a very lightweight wheel in 18". Unsprung weight really matters but at the time I was trying to save $$ by reusing some of my (19") tires.
