  • Will bbs rx 8/17 et 35 fit over 996 calipters?

    Hello

    Searching for winter wheels and consider rx. Does any one know if they fit over 996 calipters?

    Thanks

      Thanks, but Im also thinking about the distance from the calipters and out to the spokes.

      When I tried to put on the original 16 inch wheels, the spokes hit the calipter.

      Do you think 17 inch with et 35 will be alright ?

      Have no time / opportunity to try or measure before I buy

        Do you have a bit of clearance to the arches to pop a few mm space in there if you have to? So at least if you buy them and they don't fit, you can space to the fronts until they fit

          I have 996 and 314mm and those exact wheels. They clear just fine.

          The 5 spoke alloys hit but the 6 spoke do not. A 10-15mm spacer will cure the problem if you want to run the o5 spoke 16s

              They have the added bonus of looking great, too
