I put those wheels on my 996 as well - looks great. Backs fit on great and make the car look more agressive with the 11" wheels. Fronts i had spacers put on, without them, they seem to rest a tad too far inside the wheel well.
How do you like those Toyo tires?

Love the Toyos - nice sidewall with enough flex for a comfortable ride, but not so much it compromises handling.
Also a nice protective bead on the wall that keep the rim edge safe.
Tread has been revised from previous model - which I had on an 02 MINI Cooper S
Best rain tire I ever had - so I'm hoping this is the same.
Only 4 manufacturers making tires for the rear of these 19" rims - so choice is limited!

Did you need new bolts after you put on the spacers (I assume 7mm spacers front)?
