Default 19's......?

As far as I remember, 19's are too big for a 928...

Someone please correct me, if I am mistaken....

Check with AO for wheel fitment charts

Try search for wheel fitment for 19's....

it is not the 19 inch but the offset that is less than optimum for a 928.

Bigger deal than might be apparent... Seller's ad says these are +50mm offset, when you want something in the -60 to -68mm offset range. Thats minus 68mm.

Dr B,

I think that is just a typo- the geomery seen on the photo precludes the kind of difference that would be appaent I suspect. Even so I would not put 19 inch wheels on a 928 any more than I would run with a 50mm offset up front but each to his own. They may cosmetically suit some vehicles like the M3 but not the 928 IMHO- I think they somehow make the 928 look effeminate unlike classy 18 inch wheels that just look the dog's b*ll*cks. Each to his own I guess and no offence to those running 19's.

Regards

Fred

Hoser diplomat providing misinformation again... running 19"s here. 19x8.5" up front, 54mm offset, 19x10" rears, 42mm offset, no spacers. Both required minor fender rolling.

Of the 3 pictured above, I like the all black ones the best. The real Porsche version of those are $7k!

At least I am not a Canadian Hoser Diplomat..........

You're running 18's up front, so I am half right.......
