2018 911 Turbo Wheel Offset Question
I was playing with the Porsche configurator and had a question about the offset of the rear wheels.
The "911 Turbo Wheels" are 11.5 x 20 ET 76 with 305/30 ZR 20 tires (rear)
The "Sport Classic Wheels" are 11.5 x 20 ET 56 with 305/30 ZR 20 tires (rear)
Both wheels are 5-Lug, but the offsets are 76 and 56 respectively. A 20mm difference seems significant. That would mean the "Sport Classic Wheels" would be 20mm (0.79") further out, which seems like a lot.
Could someone explain why these two wheels have such different offsets. Thanks!

I guess the configurator is wrong. I tried both the USA configurator and the Germany configurator for the 2018 911 Turbo with the 20" 911 Turbo Wheels and got "Hinterachse: 11,5 J x 20 (ET 76) mit Reifen 305/30 ZR 20".

Outside possibility that PAG is putting a spacer on to fit the ET76 wheel.
My bet is on bad data.

Makes a little more sense. The ET 76 wheels are only for the narrow-body 911 and S.
However, according to the chart the 911 Turbo Wheels won't fit a Turbo. LOL.
Obviously a mistake since the ET56 wheels fit a Turbo(S).
