New Wheels for the 991......... (update, my math was right! (991 is Wider))
just need tires and sensors now!
as far as the 991, my previous thread: PDK woes (991 Specific) - Rennlist Discussion Forums
since then i have added suspension and exhaust to the vehicle and luckily the car has a better feel so far, the stock suspension is just so light and lexus like that it was giving the car an odd feeling to me, but the car takes very well to stiffer suspension and opening the exhaust up really gives you a nice midrange boost.
and my math was right, the 991 (RWD) has the same stance as the 997 (AWD) Widebody model..
everything I checked showed me an additional 15mm of room outwards from hub versus 997/997.2 (i assumed this was from the hub being inward because of new rear suspension layout, BUT the inside measurements are around the same as well..)
so this being said, the 991 carries almost the same stance as the 997 AWD models with the wider body... which means for wheels we can run previous model Turbo/AWD setups if desired and will fit.
my measurements yielded me to get "997 Widebody fitment" wheels for the 991...
Test fitting today using my handy dandy Pelican Case to support the weight, shows that I was correct in my fitment... (with full load the wheel will be a little higher and somewhat in more)
that is a 12" wheel +48 offset (generally would run 12" +70 on the narrow body 997)
