Question Will 18x8 and 18x11 wheels fit on a 996 1998 ?

I´d like to know if the turbo wheels would fit on the narrow body 996 ?

Thanks in advance!!!

18x8 and 18x11 are the same size as what on the current GT3. From what I have head the wheels will fit a standard narrowbody 996. Do remember that to fit the same size tires you may have to roll the fenders... especialy if its lowered.

Wheels from the TT and C4s are made for the widebody. The offsets are wrong for the narrowbody cars.

Good luck.

I have tried to put them on and the rears stick out a fair amount. You would have to significantly roll the fender so they fit under-

The actual wheels from the Turbo themselves will not fit. However, Porsche does sell the same style wheel in sizes and offsets that do fit the narrow body.
