    Question regarding winter wheels...

    Possibly stupid question...

    I currently have a set of 18" Carerra III wheels with the Contiwintercontact 810S winter tires that I used on my 997 C2S.

    I would like to try to use the same wheels on my soon to arrive 997TT. However, I'm not sure that I can mount the 10x18 RO 57 CIII wheels in the back of the wide body TT.

    Can I just use a spacer to partially compensate for the narrower 10x18 wheel and get the offsets right, or do I have to purchase a pair of 11x18 RO 51 Carerra III wheels for the rear...which would suck...

    If so, anyone wanna buy a pair of 10x18 CIII wheels with Contiwintercontact 810S tires?

    I have the steel brakes, not the PCCBs, so I know that the 18" wheels will fit.

    Re: Question regarding winter wheels...

    Actually...now that I think about it a bit, if I add 5 mm spacers, the offset of the 10x18 wheels will be 52 mm similar to the 11x18/51 offset CIII wheels...right? I'll just have a narrower wheel/tire...which may have some advantages in snow, I guess.

    997C4S rims are a direct bolt on.

    Thanks for the post. You are correct...

    But, I have the 10x18 CIII wheels with an offset of 57 mm meant for my narrow body C2S...not the 11x18 CIII wheels with the 51 mm offset which I gather would be a direct bolt on the wide body turbo or the C4S.
