You'll need to be more specific; what style of 996 wheel? There are definitely some 8Ps with Porsche wheels in amongst these pages.

That the 911 turbo 996 ... 5 spokes

Love the blue color. Those wheels could be baller style if they were dressed up. Try some blue bolts and change the centre cap to match or TTS black caps

the rim sits past the tyre and the arch after arch flaring thats wierd
my bentleys are et 41 with 9J on standard a3 arches they stick out more than 8mm

 

[fuzion]

Had to take the screws out in the front and back and trim bits of the rear liners with it been so low. Makes it easier with the slight stretch though :-D

Cheers mate, just H&R springs for now & with the wheels being ET45 they fill the arches perfect imo without spacers

ppphhheeewwwww, after going through all 60 pages, I was able to find only 1 5 Door with these on. It looks as if BBS Speedlines are FTW but personally I don't really like them. Rotors are too expensive and so are RS4 style alloys..
