My current alloys are a bit curbed and all four tyres will need replacing in the near future, so I'm thinking of getting some second hand C4S/Turbo wheels with decent tyres for it rather than forking out for new tyres and a refurb.

From what I can see these are a bit larger than my current 18's, so will these fit ok??

Cheers guys,
Dan.

Fronts are the same size & offset 8jx18 ET50, however standard narrow body rears are 10jx18 ET65 whereas the widebody C4S & TT run 11jx18 ET45.

Stick with your standard sizes as anything other than a custom manufactured/aftermarket wheel will more than likely have major arch clearance issues judging by the offsets and width. wink

Hi Dan, I see you previously had an s2000, it seems a few of us have gone from one of those to a 996. If you haven't got one alread, get a PSE, Best mod you will ever get IMO.

ok thanx for the advice.

yeh had the S2000 for 3 years and loved it, i think the 996 was the only car i could replace it with as always wanted one! will be tempted to get another S2000 when i need to release some cash for a mortgage deposit, doh.

have got a fabspeed exhaust on the 996 which seems to work nicely!
