Sorry, if this is readily available, but when I searched "Wheel off set" the website said I couldn't search for the word "off".
To the point:
I'm interested in buying a spare set of wheels and tires for my car. I know that my 968 came stock with 17" wheels (I believe 17x7 f, 17x9 r). What I don't know is what off set I need to run, or frankly what the off set is/does etc. I just want some wheels that will fit like the stock ones.
That being said, a local PCA member has some wheels for sale 17x7, 17x9. Before I enter negotiations I want to make sure that the wheels will work for my purpose.
Thanks

Chubs,
To my knowledge the 964 wheels will fit but if I remember correct - laymans terms - the fronts will stick out 1/4 more and the rears the opposite. I had a set of aftermarket off a 964 and this was the case, Stockers may be different. --- anyone confirm this?
Side note- I have 2 sets of cup 16s stock 968s with all season tires... Are you looking for winter wheels? 16s tires are cheaper. Just a thought, not to ruin your deal for the 964s, just options.
Cheers, Mike
