Default Swapping RUF wheels for some 997TT wheels pics

Swapping wheels out on my car 19' RUF to 997TT wheels...pics

video of my car -

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I am selling my narrow body 2005 997....keeping the RUF wheels for my new car that will arrive soon....

so looking to add some 997tt wheels to the car... see pics... and also think swapping out the black wheels may make the car apeal to broader audience...

anyone selling take off 997TT wheels and or wheels and used tires (need 50% tread)

Dont want to insult anyone but looking to spend about 1500 range for some wheels and used rubber or 1K for some oem wheels and no tires... I have seen some sell in this range, but agreed its on the low end. Thanks all...pm me.

Congrats on the new Ruf Mick! +1 on the pics once its there!

I noticed that your car is a narrow body. I dont think you can fit widebody wheels on it unless you go quite crazy with spacers, so be aware that your audience here is all widebody... And the cost of spacers will just increase the overall cost of the project.

Good luck!

widebody oem offset fits narrow cars, nice aggressive offset. spacers are only used to make a narrow offset fit a wider offset car. they push the wheels out.

Right got my facts the other way thanks Raffi.
I believe there is a 17mm difference between the wide and narrow body offsets, which is a bit too aggressive. On 305 tires, they do stick out from the fenders by a couple of mms...
