The first widebody of the water cooled 911s, the 2002-2005 996 Carrera 4S and Turbo models have been some of the more popular options of the 996 generation. If you want to improve the performance of your widebody 996 or just change up the aesthetic we have you covered here in this Porsche 911 996 C4S & Turbo Wheel & Tire Fitment Guide. We have a number of options to unlock the full potential of your new Porsche with options like our Flow Formed SM-10 as well as Forged options in the EC-7RS, VS-5RS, and SM-10RS.
12" Rear Wheel Clearance Information
12" rear wheels come standard on the 996 GT2 and are a popular upgrade for 996 Turbo owners due to their ability to support the sidewalls of wide 305, 315 & 335 tire compounds. With that said, these wide wheel & tire configurations will take up all of the available real estate under the rear fender wells, so aftermarket turbo/intake setups may cause interference. GT2 rear fender liner brackets may be needed for extra inner clearance depending on tire model and size.
Brake Clearance Information
In the engineering phase of wheel development we 3D scan factory brakes and review 2D aftermarket brake templates in order to optimize our barrel profiles and spoke curvatures. As a result, our wheels offer massive brake clearance so you can run the smallest possible wheel diameter.
