I am looking at purchasing a set of new factory Porsche Techno Hollowspoke wheels for my 2000 C2 Cab. Specs: front 224/40 ZR 18, 18X8 with 50mm offsets, rear 295/30 ZR 18, 18 X 11 with 63 mm offsets. I currently have 285's on the rear. They are advertised as the largest factory wheel and tire combo you can get for your 996. My concern is the rear setup is just too big. Your help is appreciated.

DVC - PCA reports that the normal turbo wheels have offsets in the range of 45mm. These wheels with the 63mm offset wheels were from the Turbo model with option "XRC". The Porsche website lists the X50 Techno Hollows as an $1800+ option on the 2004 Turbo. I believe this package would include spacers for the 2004 Turbo. I have been told that without these spacers you can fit this wheel package on a narrow body 996.
