I'm wondering these will fit, and if the larger 305 rubber can be run on a turbo wheel on a narrow body 997 .
Also, does it look weird, or does it actually look aggressive..? Pics appreciated
faced with my snow tire dilemma, I am considering getting a new set of 19" wheels, and thought about either the turbo wheel, or the 2009 s pentagram wheel.
I just started looking on ebay..Any other good places for deals on replicas or take offs ?
As a close second option I have found a set of replica carerra II's for $499, brand new on ebay. Vendor with lots of feedback

Hey there not sure about the rims, but I know for certain that the rubber will fit nicely. When i changed my tires after the first set expired, I upsized to 305's in rear,a nd kept the fronts same, which I believe are stock on both 997s and Turbo I would call tirrerack or p-car dealership and ask the rim question. As for rims, just my .02 I woould not get replicas I would either get a porsche rim, or buy something good from a reputable after market manufacturer.

I went to 305s in the rear on my S as well. I was worried that the slight improvement in grip might make for even more understeer, so I went with a slightly more aggressive alignment (more negative camber up front and no toe is my preference) to compensate.

Yes. There is a 2008 Carrera with Turbo wheels at a Virginia Beach dealership as we speak. If you go to the Porsche website and build a car, it will allow Turbo wheels as an option.

If the rear offset is a narrowbody offset - say 67mm, then adding a 17mm spacer would give you an effective rear offset of 50mm which is a typical widebody offset. If you added a 17mm spacer to a widebody offset you really would push the wheel out too much with an effective offset of 33mm.

jhbrennan is correct. Wheels with normal widebody offsets stick out too far on a narrow body car. Here is a link to an offset calculator that will tell you exactly how much more a widebody wheel will extend (move to the outside) compared to the same wheel with a narrow body offset.
