20" 991 Center Lock Wheels on 997
Hi I like the look of the newer 20" CL wheels on the 991's Turbo S. I found a 2011 Turbo S 997 and see they have the 19" CL RS wheels...will the newer 20" wheels fit properly if I wanted to replace?
Thank you
Thank you

Ah found this:
A contact at the Porsche Dealership informed me after experimentation at the shop, they discover that this Porsche OEM 20" 991 Turbo & Turbo S wheel will fit both the Wide Body and the Narrow Body 911- 991, 997 and the 996 models.Plesee Note: For this wheel to fit a Wide Body 911, 997 and 996, you will need a 23mm spcacer only for the Rear wheels. The Front with the 51mm offset is fine. No spacers need for the Front. Again, this set will fit the Narrow body models which will require a 5mm spacer for the Rear wheel as well.. These wheels will fit Porsche, 911/991, 911/997 and the 911/996 WIDE and NARROW BODY. This wheels will fit WIDE and NARROW BODY 991, 997, 996, , from 1999 to 2012. It will fit the Turbo, C4S, Targa, C4, C2, Club Coupe,Carrera S, Cabriolet S, and Carrera C2.
To fit the 911-997 and 996 Wide Body Model: The Porsche recommended tire size is 245/30/20 for the Front and 325/25/20 for the Rear for Wide Body. The wheel has an offset of 51.

To answer your questions yes 991 wheels will work on a 997. The issue is in that description from the seller on eBay is that you cannot use spacers on center lock wheels. You can do axle extenders but my opinion is that why not just buy the correct offset wheels rather than change the axle spacing. The 991 Turbo wheels have a front offset of ET51 which will work fine. The rears are ET 56 which will pull the wheel inward a bit so the wheel will look slightly sunk in.

There’s a Rennlist member on the 997 Turbo boards who had his 997.2 Turbo RS Spyder centerlock wheels refinished in 991 style, and they look great. They’re polished on the face, and painted black inside the spokes and the barrel. They look very similar to the 991 wheel, and they are the proper wheels for the car. You might consider that option.

Too bad the Rears aren't proper spacing. I was thinking of doing this.
