Title: 996 wheel using 999 forks
Post by: Turf on November 18, 2010, 09:59:33 PM
anyone know if a 996 wheel will work with 999 forks/axle/calipers?

Are you using the 999 rotors?

Don't have a rim or rotors yet, trying to figure out path of least resistance.

done a 996 swinger so 999 front would look odd

Aren't 996 fronts 6 bolt

and 999 are 5 i believe

Yes they have different mounting.

But the offset of the rotors is also different.

It won't be a simple conversion and it will be tough to decide without pieces to measure from.

I have a stock 996 wheel I can get some #'s from if it helps.

couldn't hurt, be much appreciated

since i've done all this on very little money i'd like to continue that trend, may just be getting a 999 front until i can mix match rims and buy oz's or something. I like the three spokers though.
