Porsche 996 Adapter for 991 steering wheel
210,00 € + IVA
The experience gained in the manufacturing of spacers and the machining of Porsche gearcutting has allowed this idea to become a reality: fit a steering wheel with a classic but innovative design like the one from Cayman GT4 on a 996. Members of our family have a 991 and a Macan, which allowed us to hold the new steering wheel with 3 hollow spokes and a round and small airbag. We immediately wanted it on our own 996.
- The adapter allows the installation of any steering wheel with wide 26 mm shaft on older Porsche narrow 17 mm shaft
- Typical steering wheels suitable for this application are from 997, 991 and 992.
- Steering wheels from other Porsches from the same years can be used (Macan, Cayenne, Panamera, Cayman…)
- Steering wheel is not included
- The same adapter is valid for the same application on 986 and 993 cars.
- Mod is reversible: the product can be removed and all returns as before.
- Products are always subject to updates without notice, that does not affect fitment and final aesthetic result.
Porsche 996 Adapter for 991 st...

The steering wheel adapter is a kit that makes possible to install, on a Porsche 996, a steering wheel from a younger Porsche.
Why?
To update the interior look and retain OEM overall interior appearance and elegance.
Does it work as a steering wheel spacer too? What’s the benefit?
The adaptor is made mating parts from a 996 and a 991 steering wheel spacer. Because of this, it brings the steering wheel 2″ (5 cm) closer to the driver, allowing to drive with the seat all backwards (with the consequent benefits for the legroom), and still holding the steering wheel naturally, without stretching the arms.
The driver’s sensation is godsend.
Adapter Installation Instructions to fit Porsche 991 Steering Wheel on Porsche 996
The installation procedure is the same as installing a steering wheel spacer, so we offer the same instructions. Read the installation instructions
We recommend not to connect the new airbag to the connector of the 996 /993, the operation of the new type airbag with the old type electronics is not guaranteed. Let’s remember that 10 years pass between the 2 generations. In any case, it should be remembered that on all cars, not only Porsche, the functionality of the airbag is no longer guaranteed after 10 or more years, due to chemical decay of the properties of the pyrotechnic gas inside.
The adapter is only mechanical: if you get a 991 steering wheel with the buttons for radio and cruise control, it will not be possible to adapt them on the 996, which did not have them, so it lacks the relative electronics.
