Default RUF Wheel fitment - 11" rears

Through a contact, I jumped on a set of 19" RUF wheels ("Classics"), and it turns out the fronts are the same I am running on my car now, but the rears are not the 10" ones that fit fine, but the 11" ones. These wheels do fit OK on 996's, 996 Turbos/S's, and 997's, but do not fit on a NB 993.

The question is, will they fit on a wide body 993 such as a 993 C2S/C4S or 993 Turbo?

The specification on the rear wheels are 11J x 19H2, ET70.

Cheers,

Mike

maybe they fit on NB 993s using 5mm spacers and rolling the rear fenders...

i found a technical report for 19" RH AL-wheels in my archive that stated the following:

993 (200; 210; 221kw) - 911 carrera, carrera4, 911 carrera RS (coupé, cabrio) front: 9x19 ET52
(235/35ZR19-88Y) rear: 11x19 ET65 (275/30ZR19-96Y) needs rolling the fenders up to 10mm

For a wide body 993 you would need at least a 20mm (to bring the outside of the wheel to where the stock wheel sits) but a 30mm-38mm spacer would put it more flush with the fender (farther out than stock).

I already have RUF's on my 993 Targa, with with the 11" set on the rears. These are another set that I acquired where the rears are 10". :-)

Do you have the 11" rears on your 993 C4S? How do they fit, and what spacers did you require?

Here is my car:

I've got a set of 28mm H&R DRM hub centric wheel adapters brand new in the box if you need them.

RUF Dallas sent me rear spacers with the wheels.


They fit tight with RS camber, but never any issues. I understand the 11" wheels to be designed to fit a NB RUF TT.

i actually have a set of spacers with my original set of RUF's, but not for this new set. Not sure but I might be selling them since they are unlikely to fit on my existing car, but I am waffling a bit...

Sanyata, will let you know if I need the spacers, thanks!

Cheers,

Mike

I just got back from the shop installing 19x11 ET67 997 Carrera Classics on my 993 with 285/30s in the back. Everything fits well with rolled fenders, and my car is probably a tad lower than RS height. I would probably have a problem with 295/30s. So, as others have stated, those 11"ers are NB wheels.
