Quick question.....

Can the gen 1 997 C2 accommodate 20" inch wheels ?
 
I think it could, but you might not want to.
 
By the looks of your pic that you posted, the car appears to be lowered. It has a great stance as is. Some anecdotal evidence that the ride isn't as good as suspension is set up for 18/19 wheel sizes

Thank you FZP & MaxA.

I've been offered some 20" turbo II's at a really good price..but from my research...whilst technically possible...the consensus does indeed appear to be why would you risk the handling characteristics of this great car..

I'll give these a pass.

Thanks again
 
Agreed, there are a few on here running 20" on a 997 and they seem happy with them, but from what I have learnt 18" is the best ride 19" is the best compromise of look v ride quality 20" is a hard ride. :thumb:

Turbo 2 wheels are 19" :judge:

These may be Panamera/Cayenne wheels :dont know:

+1, also factor in the additional weight penalty and increase in rotational mass. The handling wont be the same.

But still fine for pootling around town etc.

Shame really as they were a great price with tyres but I want to try to keep it OEM looking
