Will 996 TT wheels fit 2002 996 C2?

Anyone know for sure if (8" x 18" 50 ET) and (11' x 18" 40 ET) will fit a 2002 996 C2?

Thanks, what are the ideal offsets F/R for 18" wheels for a 2002 996 C2?

8 x 18" ET 50 front, 10 x 18" ET 65 rear

Proper tire sizes for these wheels are:

- 225/40 ZR 18 front
- 285/30 ZR 18 rear

there are 11" wheels that will fit.

You may need to slightly alter the inner fender lip. There is a factory sheet on the modification.

The offset is critical.

I run 19"x11" rear BBS wheels on my 2004 C2.

I will say that If I were to do it again, I would go for the 10". I think the rears overwhelm the front a bit in the fast turns.
