the rims I am interested in are :

996 362 124-00 front w/55offset
996 362 126.05 rear w/55offset

and will I need spacers.

the 996 wheel offset should be 52 which is fine for a 964 or 993 , 55 offset may not be factory alloys ? porsche ones are always stamped with offset next to the air valve

I am a newbie to the site and really glad I found it. The wheels I am looking at are a turbo twist design. I appreciate the info. I will have him look at the wheels again and verify the off-set.

Do they look like these ?

chrisnmary90964

That is exactly what they look like. Are yours from a 996?

I just learned that the offset on the rear rims is 50 and not 55. Wilko has said that it needs to be 52. Can anyone tell me if the 50 offset is also "OK" on my 964?

996 362 124-00 front w/55offset
996 362 126.05 rear w/50offset

My rims are aftermarket knock offs ... very heavy but I do not track the car and is just for cruzin for me.
the ones to get are the hollow spoke turbo twists that are much lighter if you plan on tracking the car.

my knock offs are ET 52 for the front and ET65 for the rear with a 15mm spacer which brings the offset to 50 on the rear.

the offset of 50 in the rear should work for you
