Default Sport techno question

Has anyone put 20 inch sport techno wheels on a 2013 thru 2015 c4s? I was contemplating it, and i've seen some of the wheels advertised as "narrow body" wheels which made me wonder if they made two different sizes of the same wheel. Dealers often are very challenged on wheel questions so i thought maybe someone could elaborate.

The fronts are the same for both narrow and wide bodies, but the rears are different:

Size: Carrera/Carrera S
Front - 9 x 20 ET51 - 245/35 ZR 20
Rear - 11.5 x 20 ET68 - 305/30 ZR 20

Size: Carrera 4/Carrera 4S/ Targa / GTS
Front - 9 x 20 ET51 - 245/35 ZR 20
Rear - 11.5 x 20 ET48 - 305/30 ZR 20

Mine came with Sport Techno. I don't think they are smaller, rather the rears are larger (11.5 inches vs 11 inches) than standard wheels. I don't see a size that's smaller for those wheels.

My car is a 2013 C4S, for reference.

The offset is different on the rear wheels between wide/narrow body cars.

I have 20" ST wheels on my narrow body car and love them!

I think you have the answer as this would explain the variation. The devil is in the details!

Are we talking again about the best wheel Porsche has ever made, save for the early Fuchs?

Note the offset difference of 20mm between the narrow and wide body rears!

The only thing better than Sport Technos are white BODY COLORED Sport Technos (I have djlynch's former 2013 C4)!

i love mine as well.....more so because you rarely see them (as opposed to the CSiii or Classics)...the grey finish on the inside of the spokes is what i like best....and yes, a play on the old Fuchs!
