I have the Carrera S 11x19 wheels, with ET 67. It is pretty close to maximum, as you can see on the pic in my signature....

The hollow spoke 11x18 turbo wheel has ET 45, and that does not fit the narrow body.


Thanks,

Johan

The factory 996gt3 wheels are 11 inches wide and run a 63mm offset I believe. You can run 55mm offset 11 inch wheels on a narrowbody. That is the size of my victor innsbruck wheels.

I had 19 X 11 et 67 with a 7mm spacer on my 00 C2 cab, net et of 60. With stock suspension, factory alignment, no issues at all. What jsoderbe stated, Turbo wheels with an et of 45; definitely, not gonna fit. With an et 55, it's quite close to the fenderwell; you may have to dial in a little more negative camber esp. if the car is lowered.

What diameter wheels are you interested in? Have you considered FIkse?

Ditto on the above, running the same setup with 99 C2 (more room), and is also lowered with PSS10's.
