If you have a WB this looks like a great deal: Gemballa Competition

I'm just upset I have a NB

Does anybody know if these 996 wheels will fit 1998 993 WB C2S? It seem like they might but the offset dimensions are quite different from my existing Turbo Twists!! But maybe they should be!!

TIA..gary

I don't think they will without spacers - aren't our WBs 52 front and 40 back?

If not, please delete this thread as I want those wheels.

Really? I am usually wrong, but I think I am right. But, I am usually wrong?

Thanks

Nope, that's NBs that are ET65 rear.

I do not think an ET27 will fit a 993 widebody. I have a set of these and they barely fit. Unfortunately they are being refinished so I can't check, but I am almost certain mine are ET32. Maybe Mark in AK will chime in. I think he has the same wheels.

I had some et 25s that fit. A bit tight, but with just a bit of camber all was well.

ooops. I had 18x10 et 25 rather than 18x11. I don't think there was another half inch to be had. So, I do NOT think these will fit a 993 widebody.

Thanks to all for the info. The eBay Gemballa rims look like they could use a refurbishing to get rid of the scratches and small curb rash.
