Default 996NB Wheels for 993 NB

Need Hlep from you tire wheel experts, my friend has a 2004 996 Cab and he is looking at at getting new 19" wheels, could I install those wheels on my 1996 C4 without any spacers.

Thanks in advance.

You need to have size and offset information. If they are 17", ET should be 55. If they are 18", ET should be 50 or 52 in front and 65 for the rears. If so, they'll fit.

"ET" is German for "offset" The stock offset for a 17" wheel is 55. There should be a stamp on the wheel that says "ET55". If so, they will fit a 96 c4. You can search the 993 forum for tons of information on this.
