NB 997 wheel questions

I m looking for a oem turbo wheel(997) set in NB fitment. I need rear offset of 67. I already have one set in the nb size.
The wb offsets are 51.
Is there any way to make the WB rear wheel fit?
wheels are 11x19 on both nb and wb. I run 295s the wb run 305s so I m not concerned with using the 295s.
This search is getting trying. Here, rennlist, ebay, online wheel dealers etc.
Thanks.

Turbos are WB cars. As far as I know, Porsche only made the OEM turbo wheels in WB offsets. I'm sure someone will confirm.

But, WB wheels fit on NB cars. You will get the same look as putting 16mm spacers on NB wheels. If you really want turbo wheels, I recommend using them without spacers in the rear and putting 7mm to 10mm in the front to even out the flush look. I currently run WB Carrera S II's on a NB car with 7.5mm front spacers. They look great with 295's, even better with 305's.

The other option is to have a machine shop cut down the offset from ET51 to ET67. Be sure you pick one that has experience milling wheel offsets.

I have set of factory turbo 1 with nb fitment Rear et 67 instead of 51 (WB). This is a spare set I m looking at.
So you say they fit in the rear??? Got any pic s of your wheel setup?

Porsche offered the 997.1 Turbo wheels in NB fitments as an option maybe starting in late 2007.

offset 51 (WB wheel) will fit a NB. Very flush to rear fender and looks great.

2 years ago I paid $1600 for 09 P turbos, primo wheels, shipped to my house...no center caps or tpms....$3500 depends on if tires are new and what brand....
