Default Will these fit my 98C4S?

Am pursuing lead on Gemballa 18 inch competition wheels. ($2400)

Sizes-- 8.5x18et33 and 11.5x18et33

Came off a 2002 TT.

Will these fit my 98C4S????

Have searched archives with no luck.

Any help/advice greatly appreciated....

No. And, I am surprised they fit on the 996 Turbo. Unless it was modified.

I agree with Viken...offsets seem strange for a 996TT. I think you need the ET52 offsets on the Gemballs wheels to fit a widebody.

I have Kinesis Supercup rims on a C2S, 8.5" front and 10" rears.

Alan at Kinesis had told me the offsets are as follows:
front 46 and rear 27.

That seems odd but that's what I had been told.

Ron,

Do you have any pictures you can post with the RS SuperCup wheels?

Thanks,
Scott

Ron,
That seems odd to me too. If you give me your serial numbers I will check again, but the rear should be +40 mm offset.

Alan,
I sent you an email with my serial #.


Scott,
Below are a couple of photo with the Kinesis wheels.

Ron,

Sweet! Did you pick the color of the inner spokes. Did you go directly to Kinesis or did you go to a dealer. I'm thinking of getting the same wheels. I would like to have the deep dish look especially in the front. I only see 1 picture posted was there another?

My Roocks are 18x8.5 45mm and 18x11 30mm and fit the 993 WB perfectly, ask Old Guy!. Looking at the Gemballas, it appears the front would stick out beyond the fender line and the rears may or may not.

Scott,

They were purchased from Kinesis. The rims are anodized and the spokes are painted Porsche Stone Grey Mettallic. Check with Alan at Kinesis he has the serial # and can give you the specifics.
