Question 19" 997 Lobster Fork Wheels - will they Fit

Hi All,

mulling over a 991S Purchase. I have 997 Lobster Fork wheels for track use, will they fit a 991?

19x8 front and 19x11 rear, Front offset is 57 and rear offset is 67

Offsets should be fine, was worried about the 19x8.

Thanks, Ross

My dealer tells me that 997 wheels will fit as long as they are 19 inch and as long as the offsets are fairly close. Your offsets would be for a two wheel drive narrow body 991.

The biggest issue will be whether the rears will clear the suspension arm.

Did anyone ever try this? I'm tempted to get a set for my winters on my C2.

They work fine & look great! These are the 997 classics but Lobsters are same, just harder to clean!

Welcome! Had some on a 997. I was a fan but many are not. I do use 5mm spacers up front too. I have WB classics so offset is 51 vs 67 in rear too.

I have the 997 narrow body lobster forks (19") for my 991.1 C2. They fit great. I added a 7mm spacer to the front to look more flush but there's no rubbing without it.

Sorry don't have a good pic other than these and the spacer is not installed here
