will they fit a 996 C4S?

Offsets for the 993 and 996 are exactly the same for the wide body models, so they should. That said, the fronts on these Kinesis wheels have an aggressive 42 mm offset vs the standard 50 mm. This pushes them outward in the fender to widen the wheelbase by about a 1/2" each side. I used them on my '96 C4S without issue but I did run a -2 deg camber on the fronts with a standard 225/40 18 tire. I also used 235 without a problem. Some guys ran 265 up front but that was with rolled inner fenders. The rears are no issue up to a 305 tire. Hope this helps.

This is a great lightweight and strong wheel. I hate to get rid of them but I stopped tracking my car and just don't have a use for them. Please be aware that they do have some minor pitting on them that would need to be polished out to really make them perfect. A local wheel shop here said $125/wheel to bring them back to new if you didn't want to do yourself.

Just want to make sure you have all the facts.

For what it's worth, stock 996 GT2 wheels are 8.5x18 +40, so I'd say they should fit a 996 WB very well. Tempting.

Thanks for the feedback Matt. I've driven the 996 GT2. Beast that can get you in a lot of trouble very quickly. Gets your full attention behind the wheel.

Note that if your wide body 996 is lowered, these could rub the fenders. The 996 GT2's fenders are rolled from the factory to account for the lower ride height. I have a 996TT lowered to GT2 ride height and from what I have read, the GT2 wheels will likely rub without rolling the fenders. Thus, these could possibly rub too.

These wheels are beautiful though, I love this style, especially in gold!

No issues on my 993 C4S with standard width tires (225/40) which was lowered but no room for running wider tires on front.without rolling fender.

BTW, heard great things about the Guilia. One guy told me that since he's bought it its his favorite ride and he has quite a stable.

Yeah, I feel like it's a crap shoot sometimes with whether tires will rub or not. Given the same car, ride height and mods, some say they have rubbing where some have no issues. I want to buy a set of used wheels like these but I don't like the idea of having to roll my fenders if needed.

The QV was awesome, I need to update my sig though since I sold it recently to get back into an suv as my daily and hauler. Everything about the QV felt special but wanting to keep just one sports/sporty car, it had to be the 911 for me. But I drove the QV year round with snows in the winter with no issues. Even had a roof rack for my bikes.

Hi! By any chance do you ship it internationally? How much for Brazil/São Paulo zip 04535-040?

vantagecg

Shipping would be more than wheels are worth. Sorry.
