Sell me your Turbo 1 rims

Anybody got a clean, straight set of factory Turbo 1 rims that will fit a narrow body 997? 57 and 67 offsets. Drop me a line. Would also consider the Carrera S II rims as well. Thanks.

there are currently 3 or 4 turbo 1 wheels for sale here. OEM do not come in 67 rears. The 51 rears will fit a 997.1S with no issues according to many posts on this forum.

Any narrow body 997 ordered with Turbo wheels have a 67 offset. That being said, I run a 51 in the rear and also have a 5mm spacer on my 997 C2S.

I have seen Turbo tire/wheel sets on dealer parts websites with the 57/67 offsets. I have also seen them as factory option on a C2S, and I would figure that the offset would be correct.

But, if I buy a standard Turbo set, I can run a 5mm spacer and have no issues?

You can but you don't need to. The rear wheels will sit 16mm out per side so it will be a nice look and I would suggest trying this before buying 5mm spacers. I added the spacers as a trial and decided I liked the extra aggressiveness. I initially put a spacer on one side and compared to the other side...I also tried 7mm and believe it or not that 2mm made a huge difference and I did not like it.

So to answer your question, I don't have any issues with my setup.

johnnyamerica is infamous around these parts
I just bought a set of Turbo wheels and yes the rear wheels sit just fine under the fender. The offsets are perfect imo for my tastes. I also used a 5mm spacer for the fronts.

Forgot to mention that I run 7mm in the front...remember that if you get the wheels from a Turbo, the front rims are 1/2" wider (8.5" vs. 8").
