has anyone put turbo wheels on a NB?

If so, do you have any pics? Is it possible to run the 305 width tires on a narrow body wheel?

If you're asking about 997.1 TT wheels you can get them in NB offsets so yes they will fit. You'll find that 305's are an option with certain wheels on NB.

Check my avitar as well. I've also run a thread showing that they fit perfectly with 305's if you search for it.

These are off a 997.1 Turbo. Fronts are 19x8.5 ET56 and rears are 19x11 ET51...perfect fit in my opinion.

I put NB Turbo wheels on my '05 C2S. Visually, the difference is very minor between the NB and WB offsets.

I have to respectfully disagree. The extra concavity of the wheel is very noticeable and the position of the wheel with less offset is perfect. My car was beside its twin with NB Turbo’s and I’m glad I bought a set of WB.
