Wheel offsets confuse me...
So my 911.50 has the following OEM wheels;
Front: 20"x9" ET51
Rear: 20"x11.5 ET48
I can pick up a set of wheels from a WB 997 with the following specs
Front: 19"x8" ET57
Rear: 19"x11" ET51
I would use these exclusively for AX and maybe an ocassional DE. The difference in offsets has me confused - do I need to add spacers (and is that advisable for my application?), or am I looking at this backwards?
TIA,
DaveGee

The wheels move out as the offset decreases and they move in as the number increases
Looking at your post, I don't think I would want to get a narrower wheel though.
My understanding is, with the right offsets, I would rather get a set with 19x9-9.5 and 19x12 as that would give you a wider foot print and a bad xss stance.
