I'm looking into 19s for my son's car (1984 928S, US version). I'm aware of the ride trade-offs, but tire technology has advanced in the 6 years since this thread was started. My question is "will it fit"? The link is to a staggered set of 19x8.5 and 19x10s. 5x130 pattern and the customer service rep stated that several offsets should work.

I plugged it into the "Wheel Fitment Calculator" spreadsheet and it looks like the rears may not clear (fender roll to fix?).
Have any of you ladies or gents rolled 19s without modifications?
Thanks,
Joe

19" Sport Edition Cup 4s. Haven't done the fender roll yet to make these fit on the rear, but I will soon. 19x8 up front, 19x10 in the rear. I have 19x11s of these I'm not using that should bolt right onto a GTS if anyone is interested.

Bob, that looks AWESOME with those wheels!!! My favs! My dark blue S4 will have those wheels soon and look much like your car! I can't wait!
illini-heel - those wheels are getting harder and harder to find, though they do still make them in the aftermarket. They were a dime a dozen 5-6 years ago when folks were taking them off their 911's regularly!
