996 / 993 wheel offsets

[SLang]

Hey all,

Do 2001 996 C2 coupes and 1995 993 C2 coupes share the same wheel offset front and rear?

TIA

What wheel diameter? 16, 17 or 18 inch?

[SLang]

Loren, it's a set of BBS RS-GT's that are 18". I guess what I'm really asking is if you went to Tire Rack and asked for a set for each car, would they just sell you two of the exact same sets?

You can just ask them. They should tell you the wheel offset number for both cars.

[Loren]

On the 18's the rear offset should be 65 mm (w/o spacers) and 52 mm (w/o spacers on the front). Some wheels will work with the right spacers and some won't.

Likely worth a call to Wheel Enhancement for 3rd party wheels. They know Porsches and what will and won't fit.

[SLang]

Just to add closure to the thread, I called tire rack and was told that the wheels will go on either car without spacers.

Front offset: 50MM

Rear offset: 65MM

Both cars are C2's

So I dont go through life not knowing, what is the significance of the offset? TIA

This explains it pretty well...

I go forward in life more educated. Thanks!
