Default Will 2008 Carrera S wheels fit 993 Turbos?
Anyone know if these 19 inch 2008 Carrera S wheels fit our 993 turbos? If so do we need spacers? Tire widths are front 235/35/19 -- rears 305/30/19. Any facts appreciated- thanks!

You need to check the offsets of the carerra wheels. 993tt 0ffsets are ~50 fronts and ~40 rears (do search function to find out the exact numbers). You can DECREASE the offset number with spacers (i.e. go from a 50 to 40 offset wheel using 10mm spacer) to make it fit, but not the other way around. Good luck with your search.

No offense but i reckon thats one of the worst wheels Porsche has put on car. Stick to standard or throw something like 996 turbo wheels, hell anything but these.

Sorry, but I'm with Olly on this one.
They would ruin a TT.

18" wheels handle better than 19" on our cars.

There are too many variables in the "handling" equation to make such a blanket statement.
