Default Will these work on a Narrow Body 993?
Im woundering if this setup will fit for a Narrow body 993?
19x8.5 et45mm and 19x10.5et52mm
Is anyone running a setup close to this?
And ofcourse I will be lowering after buying wheels will this creat a problem?
But I am not going to be "Slamming" the car just a nice drop and maybe leave a finger or two distance from the tire.

It might help if you tell the name of the wheel as someone here probably has that style on their car and can comment directly on fit questions. Many of the wheels used are 8 & 10's Et 52 and 61 or in that range. Jim

Those sound like they would fit. But it really depends on the tires because those will be close. Is there any way to test fit them before you buy?

Unless they're RUFs, they seem too big in every dimension. Are they returnable?

A 10.5 width wheel needs a 57mm offset. Those *could* work with the right tires, chamber, ride height, etc.

Fronts will fit and the rears could fit depending on what tire size and brand you will be running, plus with a little help from a baseball bat

They could fit with the right tires and alignment. You will probably need to roll your fenders in any case to be safe.
