Default Difference between Carrera Classic and Turbo Wheels

Is there any difference between:

Carrera Classic Wheel and Turbo Wheel?

Besides how they look, do they have identical dimension? I'd like to mount the Turbo Wheel that comes from 991 T for my 2014 991 C2, but the dealership said that Turbo Wheel for Carrera non-wide body is not yet available through option and the Turbo Wheel for 991 Turbo is for wide body only.

Thanks in advance.

As you can see from the links you provided, the offsets are different.

Fronts look the same at 51. Big difference in the rear. 56vs 70.

Ouch, yes thanks for pointing that out. Wheel that sticks out 14mm would be a disaster...

My 2014 C2S Cab came with Turbo wheels. It was built in February 2014.

Classic's weigh less, so less unsprung weight.
