Any ideas If these will fit a 12 TTS with center locks

From this site: http://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Wheel-Offset-Calculator#

Inner Clearance (the inside of the wheel to the strut housing): 25mm LESS
Outer Position (position of the outside edge of the wheel): EXTEND an extra 1mm

From those results I'd suggest you'd need a 25mm spacer to prevent any inner conflicts/rubbing. Don't quote me on that though as I'm unsure if we can push a wheel out by 26mm.

They aren't ideal.

You cant use spacers with CL wheels.

This is the OEM CL Wheels Specifics...on my 997.2 TTS.
8.5JX19" Offset: 56mm
11.0JX19" Offset: 51mm

My goal is to stay with 19's push a wider wheel/tire or offset to the fenderwell lip...and lower the car..

With my 997.1 5 lug, I had options, w/ these C/Ls I need to nail the combination.

I really don't want to drop a ton of $$$$$ and used wheels are fine...but really would like to know from someone's personal experience what will work...without issues.



This pic is from an RLer...the wheels are 20...but the fitment I'm searching.

Thanks JB

With my HRE 590RS they are a perfect fit for the 997.2T with CL. Offsets are dead on and fill the wheel wells perfectly.

Even in 20", due to then lips, they look perfect on the Turbo.

My specs are:

Sizes and Offsets: 9x20 et. 53mm & 12x20 et. 48mm

Amigo, this is perfect... I'd rather not lower the car, so the pics are a huge help. Big thanks!!! JB

I think the fronts can come out more, the rears with a 325 is flush, can maybe come out an additional 5mm, never tried.

I'm on stock fenders, no roll. Lowered and never rubbed.
