Wheels: Would these fit 2002 996 C4S?

[jcsjcs]

Hey All -

I think these would work on my C4S, but double checking:

Front:
8x18 57

Rear:
9.5x18 49

These would be spare wheels for AutoX so width in back is a bit narrow but I expect a bit lighter as well...

Thanks!

Thinking of getting
O.Z. ALLEGGERITA HLT

18x10 40 offset (or 11? - but adds 2 lbs)
18x8 50 offset (or 8.5 - but adds .2 lbs - which might be fine).

MUCH lighter than Porsche wheels - about 6 lbs by wheel.

I use the car for AutoX and may do DE soon....




Anyone try these?

FYI - bought the OZ rims --18 x 11" rear and 8.5" for front... can't wait to drive with my summer tires and these lighter rims... curious if I will notice the difference!

But just having the ability to easily change from All Season to Summer is exciting!

So posting to my very own thread since no one else replied.

I ended up getting OZ Rims from Tire Rack and mounted the Michelin Sport Pilot PS2 tires that came with the car.

Anyone want to guess the weight savings across the 4 wheels?

(Well since this seems to my thread alone I am going to give you the answer)

39.4 lbs!

And yes all unsprung weight so depending on the calculation you want to apply, that's 39.4 lbs OR 78.8 lbs or 236.4 lbs - and I like the look of the OZ rims.

The car somehow feels lighter and I am able to spin the rear wheels a bit - though not sure if that is the weight loss or the tires?? I did AutoCross yesterday - and the tires seemed to be pretty good except one very nasty RAPIDLY reducing sweeper.

Original vs. OZ pics below.... don't ask which ones my wife prefers....

I really like my OZ wheels.
I also have 8.5“ and 11“.
I‘m running 235/40 and 285/35 Michelin Pilot Sport 4S.
I have a C2 so my tire diameters don’t have to be exact.
