Question will turbo wheels fit a sohc?

just wonderin cuz i need a stock rim for my sohc and i heard that the turbo's rims are a different size (besides height) because of the different brake calipers. (dont know if any of that is accurate, im new to stealths, lol).
thanks in advance for the info

I may not know what i'm talking about but i believe the n/a's stock size is 16 inches and the turbos are 17. so i thiiiiink that would involve some "plus" sizing. hope that helps.

Diameter should be no problem, it's primarily the bolt pattern you should be interested in. If it's the same bolt pattern, chances are it will fit. And of course you will need new tires.

Yup, that is the point. I would bet that if they are the same year, the bolt pattern in the same. You will need to check the rim width. Not sure, but I'm guessing the stock N/A's are a 6"-7" rim. If you go to wider rims, you may need spacers. That also depends on the off-set of the rim.

Hope it helps!
