Default Will these wheels fit a NB?

Will these wheels fit a 2003 narrow body?

no.... they wont fit. Those TTII you see on NB cars are replicas. IIRC, TTII are only for WB.

What a shame, I like these. The replica's don't seem to look the same.

Thanks. I think I want a more aggressive look because of the nose.

did you want to see the turbo wheels on a NB or just that aggressive offset?
I'm running 997 C2S WB wheels (Carrera Classic III 18x11 et51) on my 996 40th NB, and they fit, BARELY.

because the 996 turbo wheels are 18x11 et45, i don't believe they will fit unless you run a very aggressive camber or a super skinny tire, or both.
