After a while being a just a reader here, finally decided to join to get some input on a problem I’m having.

I got myself a 996 TT just a few days ago and plan to use it as a daily driver 365 days of the year, i.e. that also means the -20C winters here in Estonia. Problem being – I’m not really convinced that the 18" factory wheels are the best option during the winter and in the snow.

Hence the idea that I should get myself a nice set of 17" wheels. I had similar setup for my 944 and 951 previously and this has worked for me pretty well.
Now, I’m quite weird about having the car as close to original as I can get, so I’d like the wheels to be Porsche originals.

Does anyone have definitive info on which of the 996 17" wheels will fit the 996 TT? I’ve searched the forum and as usually everyone wants to get bigger wheels, I’m a bit out of luck. Can I safely assume that all the 996 series wheels will fit (offset is the main question, width of the narrow body 996 wheels shouldn’t be a problem I presume).
