I can buy RUF wheels,17", but don't know if they will fit my 2003 996 Turbo.
17 x 8, 20.4 mm
17 x 10, 4mm


Seller doesn't know. do these wheels use OE center caps?

HELP!

Those sound like the very early 911/930 offsets. Why would you run a 17" wheel. Most are on 18 or 19" for the 993/996 TT. I built a set of 3 piece wheels last year for 996 TT and used 6.5 inner and 1.75" on the front making a 8.5" front 18" wheel and in the rear used 7.75 inner and a 3.25" making a 11.25" wheel. They fit very well. The centers I used where Techart Daytonas which were made by Speedline. Most of these offsets that would would will be in the 40 - 45 ET front and ET 40 or so in the rear.

From my calculations those will not fit your car. With that low of an ET the wheels will be pushed too far outward even though they are sized 8 & 10's. Jim
