Default Question Steering wheel and mags

Hi,

I bought a brand new triptonic steering wheel.
Will this fit on a manual?

If you like rubbing tires, buy them. If you don't like tires rubbing on your fenders, then skip. And why would you want a tip steering wheel on a manual car?

You can put 19' if you "roll the fenders". Search for that in YouTube, and you will see a lot of examples. I did it on my 2001 cab, and the tires don't rub. Only problem is that your rims are now more susceptible to curb rash.

Says who? It depends on the offsets and tires. There's a local guy here that's been running 20's on his 996 for the past few years without issues.

Now whether you should be running 20's in the first place on a 996 is another story...

You do not necessarily need to roll your fenders to accommodate 19's - I have 19's on my '99 C4, and my fenders are intact.

Thanks everyone for the info.
I just got the steering wheel from a friend who's dad passed away.
This is why it's triptonic, and since I have the old one I considered changing it.
am I better selling it and if so for how much?
I also have brand new ; hand brake, triptonic shifter **** and the plate
