I believe they offer the 12s in two different offsets.

I had them on my car...11's in the rear. Needed a spacer to look right but the wheel design is timeless and classic for a Porsche.

19x12 rear ET 51 is perfect, even on a lowered car. They used to make a 19x9 front but I think it's pretty much NLA now just 19x8.5.

I looked into those wheels when I was researching at the 2k and under. 1. I didn't like the fact that you needed spacers. 2. Longer bolts due to spacers. 3. Real heavy wheel. I settled on Victor Wheels. No spacers, no long bolts and lighter than my OEM! Best thing was $1100 installed! And when they get scratched, I simply throw them away tires and all. I have gotten so many compliments on my wheels it's ridiculous. Even next to cars with the high end stuff.

I just checked my rims which are in storage. The rears are et 45 for 19x12. I believe this is the only Porsche wide body 997 fitment. Front should be et 51 for 8.5 and et 53 for 9". I have both.

No spacers required for these sizes and no longer bolts needed. But yes these wheels are cast and heavy. But they look great for the street, take Porsche center caps, and have replaceable trim rings that prevent rash
