I don't see why not... I have the Turbo Twists on my Boxster. It actually was an option from Porsche at one time.

When people risk their lives, shouldn't it be for something very important?
Well, it better be.
But what is so important about driving faster than anyone else?
Lots of people go through life doing things badly. Racing's important to men who do it well.
When you're racing, it's life. Anything that happens before or after is just waiting.

The TT Turbo Twists are HUGE. I really doubt they would fit but ask your dealer for sure.

BTW-these are different turbo twists than you nornally see on a NA 996, much fatter.

I'm not totally sure how wide in inches my rims are are but they take 265 tires on them. You should just try a test fit... if they don't clear then you might need some spacers or something... or just check his tire sizes. It is feasible that they would make wider ones for the TT for more traction.

If memory serves me right the turbo twist on the Turbo cars are 18X11 with a 295/30/18 tire on the rears....Doubt it will fit
