Sorry, Wheel Fitment Again!

Now I am being asked if my Sport Design alloys from 997.2 C4S will fit a Gen 1 C2S?

I suspect not directly, but is there any way they can be made to fit?
Thanks in advance.

Fronts are same for both 2 wheel and 4 wheel drive.

The rears are the same apart from the offset.

2 wheel drive have an ET67 offset and 4 wheel drive have an ET51 offset - so 16mm difference.

They will fit but will need 15mm spacers to bring the position of the wheel back to where it should be.
 
They will stick out further without any spacers.

Sorry - Yes Magic is right - I got it the wrong way around!

They will fit, but it would be like having 16mm spacers on the standard wheels - which is no bad thing as many people space the rear wheels out that amount anyway!
 
Apologies for tagging onto this thread but I have heard conflicting stories as to whether the Kerscher 'Fuchs" style wheels will fit a narrow body car.

Kercher say yes but when I was stood next to a set in Dinslaken at the FVD Brombacher stall the guys there said no, apparently the tyre that used to allow them to fit has been redesigned and the sidewall no longer clears ??

I would be pretty confident they would fit a narrow body car. They are wide body offset and 11" wide - the same width as standard, so would be the same as fitting narrow body wheels with a 15mm spacer - which many people do with no issues.

If I wanted to fill out the arches further on my narrow body car, I would rather use wide body rear wheels than narrow body rear wheels and 15mm spacers.
