Has anyone on here put 991 wheels on a 997?

Have seen some Google'd pictures and a bit of a thread on 6speedonline...they look great IMO but is it a simple swap and are there different body widths on the 991?

My car has 20" turbo wheels on it so some swapping around might be an idea :)

20" Turbo wheels on 997 ?

So you must have 991 wheels on already ?

997 turbo wheels are 19"

I personally think 20" wheels would be apt to foul the arches unless relevant mods are made ...
 
There are a few on here that have done it, there are 2 schools of thought 1/ the visual is worth it and the ride is ok 2/ It ruins the ride quality of the 997 . So only you can decide or get along to a meet with guys who have done it and have a look etc . The arches on the 997 seem to be rolled anyway and the guys that have done it say theres no fouling .

Good advice Phil...either that or I try and find the same style wheels in a 19" size :)
