Hello - according to the Porsche manual, it says my wheels are:

Front: 8J x 18H2
Rear: 10J (or 11J) x 18H2

But I've got a line on some wheels as follows (in the vendor's words):

"8 x 18 fronts ET 57 and 10 x 18 ET 58. (ET= amount in mm that wheel goes into wheel well)."

As far as I know, these came off a regular Carrera. Please help, they are a screaming deal and I don't want to miss them if I can!

Thx!

They are the "Carrera III" wheels from the 997 series, specs are:

Front: 8J x 18 ET 57
Rear: 10J x 18 ET 58

This is what they look like:

Oh, and just to clarify, I am not asking for views as to whether it "looks" okay, I just want to know if they're mechanically compatible.

Yes, they are compatable and will fit on your car. However, if you want the face of the wheels to sit in approximately the same position as your current wheels, you will need to:

• add 7mm spacers to the front
• if you currently have 10" wide rear wheels, add 13mm spacers to the rears
  OR
• if you currently have 11" wide rear wheels, add 26mm spacers to the rears

You will also need to get longer wheel bolts for front and rears.

Thanks!
