Default Unaffiliated: 19" Craigslist Wheels + tires, $1300

ALT Miro Type 371 wheels. 19x8.5 et 47mm front, 19x10 et 56mm rear.



He's got 275/30s on the rears, which is too small for my taste, but I think it should fit into an S4/GT without rubbing. Didn't run the calculator on them.

Not a good fit [Et-47 front] for a 928.

Definitely a fan of the deep dish. This is my ride now:

I have 19s already that I'm trying to fit, and I'm not a huge fan of black wheels. But I'd probably make an exception for these if I didn't already have 19s!

Yeah, I was concerned about that. So close to being good. I bet someone could make them work...

My 19s have a 54mm front offset. It's the rears that are causing problems (19x10, 42mm, but using a spacer to bump that up a little; can't remember the exact width but it's not much, maybe 4mm) and require a fender roller.

There is no "making it work" unless you modify the front suspension.

8" wide et56 wheels with 235's up front are just about flush if not sticking out a hair.

8.5" wide et47's will be over 1/2" further out. If the tire selection has any kind of a lip on them, that distance will be closer to 3/4" which might as well be a foot or two when talking about wheel offset & clearance.

People need to remember the stock offset is et65, the lower the number the further out the wheel is and the worse the Ackerman effect is going to be (modying the suspension to make these fit will not fix this problem).

Anything "under" et52 is really pushing it with a 7" wheel much less an 8" or wider.

Thanks for the detailed response; excellent info. I guess these will end up on a Boxster...
