Here's my early 99 C2 on several wheels. no spacers on these, straight wheels to hubs. Lowered with H&R Sports (blue) and KONI adjustable shocks. Perfect ride and height for daily duty
The gloss black inside and out powdercoated Carrera IIs are off the car and FS if anyone is interested.
Lowpue I love that yellow beast of yours. Even better knowing whats under the lid.
Audidude the Carrera IIs are looking good spaced out, I always wanted to pick up some spacers on mine. All my pics are without spacers on the GT3 and BBS Carrera IIs. (except the one with my G35 coupe)
85 eurocarrera your silver aero is beautiful on the GT3s.
I run larger than oem tire sizes because I prefer a little more tire. OEM GT3 size fronts at 245/40/18 and currently 275/40/18 on the rear. The black wheel pics are on 265/35/18 OEM rear size. I love the ride and she is very responsive, but not punishing on long drives..as you can see there have been a few in the last year and a half. #GetOutAndDrive
Sorry, just to confirm, you have the 265 width on the rear with the Carrera IIs? And going to 275 width works with no rubbing? I have the Carrera IIs and we are trying to find the right rear tire size for our '99 C4.
Only HR springs
changing over to some Bilstiens or Ohlins soon
Best value is Bilstein B8s, which is what I have, which are a factory spec match for the short H&Rs AFAIK. If going coilovers, Ohlins hard to beat. Personally I'd only go coilovers if doing lots of track work at different tracks.
Looks really great. Dumb question perhaps, but did you paint the center caps or do they come in gunmetal grey?
I had a shop refinish them. They were all silver originally, including the centre caps and that shop painted them all grey. They masked off the emblem. Presumably they removed the centre caps and painted them seperately.
It was quite a few years ago, they're getting a little tatty now.

I wish I was a little closer, I'd grab these in a heart beat!
I am sorry to bring this back to the Carrera II rims, but I just can't get a definitive answer.
Putting on Carrera II rims on a 996.1 NB Carrera 4, I can go to 285 without rolling the fenders? I am being told Carrera 4 is different from the 2 and I have to keep the 225 in the front and 265 in the back for proper balance of understeer and for the all wheel drive system.
My favorite wheel design that Porsche makes is the 997 Turbo wheel. These are 19 inch on my 996, but you can find them in 18 inch. I wish I had gotten the 18's for every day smoother ride.
This is exactly what I want (in 18"). Which spacers are you using on your 996.1 C2?
