Default 997s sports design wheels...would it fit a 996 c4s?

Hi all,
i found a set of 997 Carrera S wheels for sale. I wonder if they will fit my 04 996 c4s. They measure in at 19" diameter, 8" width in Front, 11" width in the rear. Do I need any special fitting parts? Thx for your input...

ps. I wonder how they look on a 996 c4s. Im into wheels with deep luscious lips..

these are narrow body wheels.... the front will be fine, but the rears will fit with spacers, 15mm or so.

out of couriousity, are you just wanting a 19'' Porsche wheel..or are you really digging that particular wheel - I couldn't imagine it looking good on a C4S IMO

good question omni,
you guessed it. i just want to switch out my current stock 18"s. these wheels look just ok for me. Personally i think 996 c4s would look better in 19"s with lips.

yeah, just be patient and search around for a bit until you find what you really want - don't settle just because they're 19"
