Hi Guys - Wanted your opinion on what I should do or can do.

I have a 2005 997 S Cab with the turbo rims. I am considering getting the new Fuchs rims from Suncoast for $4000 and sell mine for $1000-1200. Will the Fuchs fit on my car and if they do what do you guys think of the look on an arctic silver cab. Pics, comments, suggestions greatly apprecated.

Thanks,
Sam

 

Unless your car is a 4S/Targa (WB), the Fuchs/Sport Classics won't fit. They are an inch wider in the rear with a different offset.

 

Are you sure about that? I have OEM 997 turbo wheels what came off a Turbo, so were the widebody wheels, and they fit perfectly on my narrowbodied 997S. Isn't the Turbo as wide as the 4? The offsets on Turbo wheels that were on a Turbo (not turbo-look wheels made for non-turbos) are 51 and 56.

Thanks Guys so the super quick responses. I called suncoast again and they tell me I could maybe use spacers and that might help. Rick from Suncoast also said the fronts would fit fine it's the rears that might stick out a inch or so.

 

what are the offsets ?

for narrow body, u want the fronts at 48mm and rears at 60mm for perfect flush look.

BTW, I love the fuch wheels / Sports Classic

 

Actually for an 11" wide wheel you want an ET50 at the rear for a flush look on a NB car.

I have 51/56 and mine are perfect, the is right at the fender.
Spacers will only get the wheel to stick out further, which is not the problem- you're looking at the opposite situation.
