Got my new wheels on - Turbo Fitment on Narrow Body

Closing out the thread that I started, I just got my "new" wheels on. These are the turbo fitment wheels on my narrow body 997.1 C2. The fitment is almost identical to the aftermarket wheels I was looking at. I got a real nice deal from aa909, thanks to him and the forum for all of the great info.

The wheels fit with no rubbing at all, even at full turn lock. My car is stock height so there is no issues with clearance in travel at all. The rear wheels are closer to flush than my lobsters by 16mm and to my eye they fit great. The tops of the wheels to not protrude past the fender wells in any way. the front wheels are 1/4 inch wider on each side. The extra full inch of rubber up front is nice to have.

Great news - looks great. How'd you get more rubber up front - bigger tires?

The turbo wheels are 8.5 inches wide vs my lobsters that were 8 inches wide. That's the extra inch.
