Will these wheels fit a narrow body 996?

The wheels are 19"x8.5" Offset 47 (Front) and 19"x11.5" Offset 35 (Rear) with 5x130 bolt pattern. Tires are Continental ContiSport Contact 2 : 235/35/19 (front) and 295/30/19 (Rear)

They won't work, nevermind thanks for your responses.

I think they are too wide, will probably stick out somewhat. That sounds like the offsets for a 996T

Likely won't look good. I have 18X10's on the rear, and that's about as far as I'm willing to go. Anything wider will stick out too far, and will probably rub...

They are SSR GT3s for a 2000 996 C2.

Please let me know if you are certain.

Thanks.

The rears are not even close to fitting! That would look ridiculous. With a 11.5" rim, you would need a 69mm offset to just barely fit the wheel arches, and you're looking at 35mm.... And with a 69mm offset you might rub something on the inside of the wheel.

Look elsewhere...
