I'm thinking about getting a set of 997 lobster claws. I'm concerned about the fit though. The rears are 11" wide with a 67mm offset. Compared to 10" wide 65mm offset that most guys go with, they will go towards the inner wheel well +15mm and stick outwards +11mm.

Is this doable on a slightly lowered narrowbody? I'm thinking a 285 tire to save a touch of space as well.

Any thoughts?

It's supposed to, as you can see in this graphic from one of my sites, the concern will be inboard, where the 11 will extend ~24mm further than a 65mm 10"

And it will look something like this. I'm not sure whose car this is or what size tires they were running but I thought there was a minor rubbing issue.

I actually used your site for part of my research. Do you have any idea what the max clearance is?

This is going to be a tight fit and may depend on the brand of tires you will use. It is not unheard of for the fender clearance to vary significantly between cars, and in some cases between the left and rights sides of the same car. You should test mount these on your car if you can find a set locally.

Bill,
Is the graphic you show for a narrow body fitment and do you have something similar for a wide body?

this is so very true!


On Eric's former 95 993, he had to roll the fenders just to fit 285 30 18 MPSC tires yet I have never had to roll my fenders. We both had 993s... but his rubbed in the rear without rolled fenders... go figure!

How about a 98 C4S?? would these fit without any issues on my car? I've been looking around for a while to get my hands on a set of these wheels.

offset is wrong for a widebody... you need the lower offset rear like 47mm or 45mm or 40mm IIRC
