seller says it does not fit, but i wonder with spacers maybe? please Gentleman help, i want a spare set.

Now i run stock 18" wide body wheels rear 295/30 zr 18.

Hereby the set i am interested in are;
Porsche OEM, Factory, Genuine 18" 911 - 997 Carrera IV wheels, with Michelin Pilot Sport Tires and Porsche OEM Porsche Crest Center Caps set. Takeoff from my 2011 Porsche 911-997 Carrera C2 S. The wheels and tires are used but in pristine condition. There is no structural damage, bends, cracks, curb rash or scratches. The wheels are straight and round. Michelin Pilot Sport Tires 235/40ZR18 fronts and 265/40 ZR 18 rears, tires i do not care as in shipping cost. These wheels will fit Porsche 997 and 996 Narrow body, also fit 993 narrow body model. So the rear tires are a lot smaller but with spacer could i make it work?

Thanks.

Ask seller then post up wheel specs like width and offsets. Pics?

Those pics are very low resolution. Very hard to decipher the specs on the back of the barrel. Ask seller for exact width front and rear, and their offsets. For example it should say something like 10 x 18" ET 65. If you can provide the specs, I can recommend spacer sizes for your wide body, if necessary.

Narrow bodied wheels will ALWAYS fit a wide bodied car with spacers. Usually the fronts don't need spacers, just the rears. To determine the spacers' size, subtract your C2S rear offset, which is 40 from the rear offset of the narrow bodied wheels (ie 65 or 62), then you get your spacers' size. If it is a 65mm offset, you will need a 25mm spacers. If you want a more aggressive look, go with a thicker spacers and push the wheels flush to the fenders' edge. Good luck on your purchase.

Carrera IV's are ET 57 up front, ET 60 in the rear. http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/por..._iv_wheel_1704

993 WB's are typically ET 52 fronts, and ET 40 rears. Get some 5mm and 20mm spacers and you're good to go!

just bought them, next is to buy the spacers. I lean to the direction of Foxman advise, keep you guys posted. Thanks.

installed the front wheels without the spacers looks great as the the tires are 235's vs the original tires 225 front, so far good.

Now the rear's the original tires are 295 and the IV 18" wheels / tires are 265 i am looking to buy 20 mm spacers rear and longer bolts as by Foxman.

Pleas advise 20 mm spacers /what size bolts / how difficult is it to install/remove old bolts etc.
Thanks Luft.

Luft- I have a set of like new rear hub centric 22mm spacers if you’re interested. They were mounted on my C2S. The spacers come with bolts already built in and also comes with nuts to attach to your hub. Everything you need is included to mount your new Carrera IV. PM me if interested.

Btw, it’s super easy. Remove wheel. Install spacer onto hub. Secure spacer with included nuts. Install wheel back on. Install wheel nuts. Done.

Foxman

Those 22mm should fit nicely. And like Nam said, they're super easy to install as there are studs built right into the spacers. Plug and play, and no need to buy longer studs for the wheels. These spacers with built in studs are not an option for smaller spacers, but they're a great solution for 15 mm and up.

I have a second set of NB wheels I use for winter- 25MM spacers work great.

That looks surprisingly cool

thanks, i am happy with result.

Partly thanks to both Foxman and Nam advise, appreciated. Without the help/advise i would not have the guts.
Thanks for the support,

Luft.
