interesting.. this makes sense. So shouldn’t be any more stress than putting on a wheel with a lower equivalent offset..?

I guess my next question is, does running a 7 front and 15 rear on an nb wheel setup vs 7 front and 15 rear on a wb setup mess with suspension geometry? It seems as if the fronts stick out wider than the rears.

But like Petza mentioned it is an adaptor style so that I just use regular length bolts.
No issues at all.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.

But in full disclosure I remove them when I go to the track as my track setup is designed for wide body....

any tips on install like anti seize so removing them is easier?

dont forget that the oem sport wheels (same for both 997.1 + 997.2) only came in NB fitment.

if u get them of the c4s WB, porsche throws on an oem 20mm-ish spacer for that one specific wheel. i believe it was 11.5 +67mm rear

i believe they were 8.5/11.5 inch wheels - cant remember the offsets but if you dig hard enough you will find these specs, as well as the WB 30mm oem rear spacers used.
