Default Will these wheels/tires fit my car 2006 Carrera S?

18 x 8 w/44 mm offset mounted with 245/40's. Rears: 18 x 11 w/39 mm offset mounted with 315/30's

They were made for 2004 C4S and I am looking to fit them on my car for a track setup.

Thanks,
Jason

will be pushed (way) out from OEM spec but will probably fit. look for an online wheel calc to get specifics. i think tirerack may have one.

www.willtheyfit.com is a good site to compare to what you have now.

Fronts will poke out similar to adding a 13mm spacer to your current OEM front setup. For reference most people with spacers run 7mm in the front, some run 15mm in the front. So yes these will fit a 997 in the front as-is.

Rears will poke out similar to adding a 28mm spacer to your current OEM NB setup. That's a lot. Closer to 15mm gets you flush. You might have rubbing problems with an OEM setup street car. But if your car has suspension mods for the track and matching track tires for say -2.0 to -2.5 camber front and rear they should fit. It also would depend if you are lowered.

Any chance you could test fit the rears before committing?

I guess I should test fit them, 28mm is a lot. I'll see what the seller is willing to do.

Thanks for the input!
