Default 18" Carrera III wheels

Will these fit on a Narrow Body 997 C2?

I think they are off of a C4.

Not without sticking out past the wheel arches.

What is the width & offset of your current OEM wheels? I have a 996 C2 so I am not familiar with OEM offset on a 997 C2.

Don't know what he has mounted but here are the C2 specs per Porsche:

(F) 8 x 18 et 57
(R) 10 x 18 et 58

(F) 8 x 19 et 57
(R) 11 x 19 et 67

The rear et 51 is for the C4.

I take it that they would fit perfectly with a C4S?

Perfect for an RS or Turbo owner who wants a set of inexpensive track wheels, but they won't properly fit a C2, C2S, or GT3.
