Those have the exact same sizes and offsets as the other 19"'s They should fit too!

Much better, imo. The 'crab claws' are too busy for the smooth beautiful lines of the 928, imo x 2.

I'm sure no one has ever asked but can you put 11"x19" wheels on a 928?

Look harder....the two 5 spokes you guys are referrring to are NOT the same wheels!





11x19 is no sweat on the rear of a GTS or S4 with rolled lips...just concentrate on the correct tire size.

"19"x11 (ET-67) with 295-30ZR19 rears"

And yes, very sharp looking

i have them on my 90 gt. unfortunately i'm away from home so no pics. they look great and fit well though require a small spacer in the rear to clear the control arm.

There is a subtle difference between the 997 18" and the 997 19" (besides the size)...the 18" has more of a defined-almost cut out face, vs a smoother blended look on the 19"

I really like the 18" 02 lightweights and the 18" 997 Carrera III pictured above....

Those are 18" Carrera III wheels, I just bought a set of those.

The wheels I posted are 19" Carrera Classic's.

Default 19" Carrera S rims on '87 928 S4

@LuisGT3 Can you share the specs of your wheel setup for your 928? What are rim widths, offsets, tire sizes? I just tried getting a set of Carrera S wheels off of 911 4S put onto my black '87 S4 and there's no way the 11" wide rear rims will fit. I have 305/30/19 on them now. Fronts were fine. Did you also raise your ride height? All info greatly appreciated.
