991 Turbo Wheels fit a 997?

Just wonder if they would fit. I love the new 2014 991 Turbo Wheels (5-lug).

I was wondering if the spacing would work if you put them on a 997.

yup it'll fit. et 51 up front on an 8.5 and 56 in the rear on an 11.
small spacers would make it sit flush with the fender.. i don't know how good it will look on the 997 though. nearly every 20" wheel on a 997 is usually a deep dish, or "concaved". can anyone photoshop them ?

Thanks for the info, do the 991s come with 20s?

A photoshop would be sweet.

Here is a quick rendering on my car for you..one with PCCB and one red( quickly colorized them)...again, very quick, low quality PS, but gives you a general idea of what they might look like.

Thanks DC! I think they look good on there.

Agreed. I just did it quckly for an idea. I did try to scale up a bit as I think they are 20" and mine are 19". Just an approximation....Not my best, award winning work

Exactly. Note that if you get a set with tires, you can't use the tires because the 991 uses different aspect ratios.

as far as tires, you can do a japanese set with 245 30 front, 325 25 rear (toyo, nitto,yokohama, hankook (korean) etc) they run small and narrow.

if youre going with a michlein, continental, bridgestone or dunlop, you'll need a 305 25 in the rear.

the 991 uses the same width front and rear as the 997, 8.5 and 11.

lol, easily over 10 grand... for that price you can get a ridiculous set of HRE's, ADV's, and the like...

if you can, wait a little while so more people take delivery of their 991's, and as usual they will post their OEM wheels for a few grand.

if you dont want to wait, or pay over 10 grand for a set of wheels, check these out...

this set comes with OEM pirelli's, but you cant use them...
