on a narrow body car? idk anything about wheel fitments.

thanks!

vagluv

on the rear, of course.

oh, and 8Jx19 et57 on the front

Mr.Alex

Its going to depend on the look you're going for. To fit the rear that would require a good amount of camber, some smaller tires to give a bit of a stretch (and consequently more clearance), and probably have your arches rolled as well.

The fronts "seem" fine as is.

I'd wait for more wheel experts to chime in though.

sml

with spacers you should be able to get it to work.

1. find my thread on 10ET40 and read about the clearance .. search for 10ET40 in thread title
2. use the calculator to compare 10ET40 to 11ET67 to determine the difference in position of the rim edges
3. then you can understand clearances on the outside & inside

sml

not really .. it depends on the spacer that he selects.

sml

search for my thread title 8ET50
all the details are there
your wheel will just be 7mm further inwards
will need a spacer of about 7mm to 15mm .. depending on what you are trying to achieve.

sml

oh yes .. and you forgot to tell us:
- what you are trying to achieve .. track performance, looks, etc
- spring rates
- ride height preference
- camber preference
- tyre sizes
- etc

i want good performance, but the car wont see the track. dont want to have to stretch the tires at all.

vagluv

also dont want to have to roll the fenders. sml, I read through your other thread, and didnt 100% get everything answered. i guess my biggest concern is the 11 fitting between the suspension and the opening. i can use spacers to put the wheel wherever I want, but is 11 too wide on a NB??

what im trying to do is put factory 997 lobsters on the car. I know a lot of people here dont like them, but I have always liked them ever since i first saw the 997. found a picture of them on a 964 and love the look, but it was a wb car.

One thing to keep in mind, Porsche does not recommend the use of 18" rims on the 964, never mind 19". If your car is a boulevard cruiser you should be OK with 19", but if you push it at all, I wouldn't go any bigger than 18", besides you can get all the performance you need from 18" and a better ride to boot.
Just saying.

Sorry, double post

vagluv

it just looks so good though!

Personally I would go for a set of replica Fuchs wheels, more money, but they sure look the part on a classic Porsche like ours.

vagluv

i eventually do want 18 inch fuchs, but in a 3 piece design. the 19s would just be tiding me over until i want to spend $5k on new shoes...

sml

i thought i put the key clearances in my thread:
(a) outside clearance from tyre to fender
(b) inside clearance from tyre to suspension arm
(c) inside clearance from tyre to inside wheel well

i cannot recall if I have read of anyone fitting 11" without fender roll/flare .. but hopefully my thread has details of clearances prior to fender roll.

265 on a 10" has a small stretch type look btw.
