      C5 S6 wheels at 17x8 et35
      B5 S4 wheels are 17x7.5 et 45

      I went for S6 wheels as they are the right ET without spacers and wider.

      From what I remember trying the centre caps from 16" avus wheels dont clip straight it, but do fit in the hole so should be able to be made to fit, I will try and see if I can find a spare cap to test fit again.

            16" cap in a 17", sits in but does not clip in



            17" cap left, 16" cap right



            16" wheel


            17" wheel



            As the cap actually fits the hole I think a retainer could be sorted

              17 from S3 at the front, 17 from S4 at the back

              and with 245 40 at the front and 225 45 at the rear , like the S1 in competition, larger tyres at the front !!

              larger offset from the S3 ones make a perfect balance car in corners, no more understeering , really changes everything !

                Cheers Andy, will need to weigh up refurb cost on top of purchase cost and see if it's worth it .. A there's brand new sets around to consider. falso want to make sure the 996 t will fit def fit under with 330 odd disks...
