Default Can I swap 19in "Carrera Sport Wheel" with 19 inch "Turbo Wheel" on C4s w/o any mods

Hi,

I am looking to find out if whether I can swap out the 19 Carrera Sport wheels on a 2007 C4s to the 19 inch Turbo Wheels, without having to make any other modifications to the car.

Do I need to be concerned about the offset? Spacers needed?

Please let me know, thanks.

no problems, it doesnt look aggressive enough without spacers imo though.
i fit the turbo wheels on my narrow body and used 15mm spacers on the fronts.
i am selling my turbo wheels by the way if you still didnt get a set. brand new p-zeros 0 miles

Both cars are "wide bodied" cars so the wheels should be a direct swap without any problems with the fit.

Have you considered GT3 RS wheels? They are "wide body" offsets and, IMO, look better than the Turbo wheels. Atomic80 took the Turbo wheels of his Cobalt Turbo and went with GT3 RS wheels. Here is a link to a couple of pics.

here you go shant, this is what i mean by more agressive offsets. to make the wheels look like this on a widebody car like the c4 or turbo, you will need to add spacers to the rear wheels too.
15mm is just perfect for the front, im not sure how much you need in the rear but somewhere between 7-15mm
