Default 997 turbo wheels (Another thread...)

Yeah I know, I'm making yet another thread about it, even tho there's plenty of them out there.
But they're all messing up my mind. So I'll ask personaly instead.
I have mk1 997 turbo wheels, will they fit on my 2007 C2 997? (Not an S, a normal 325 hk)

With kind regards, Jonathan.

You have a narrow body car (S doesn't make any difference) and the OEM turbo wheels are wide body offsets for the rear. Fronts will be OK and some folks run the wide body rears because they like the more flush look. Also, Porsche offered these wheels as an option on non-turbos for a narrow body fitment so you should ask what the rear offsets are - et 67mm narrow body, et 51mm wide body.

Front wheels are the same. Rear wheels will stick out 0.63 inches further than stock.

Just do it. I have them on my car and there are spacers added as well and they still aren't even with the fenders.

Yes, these wheels will fit your narrow body and give it a nice flush look


Take a look at my 997.2 C2 (link on my signature).

Stock Turbo II wheels with specs:
F: 8.5 x 19" ET56
R: 11 x 19" ET51

The result was great. Have to lower it a few cm, but apart from that, it looks great!
