ferdie993

Hi! Am thinking putting in BBS lm-r in my NB C2 can anyone give me the right offset for the wheels? Thank you

Proportions of 19" wheels look slightly off on a NB...much better aesthetically with a WB or Turbo. NB offsets depend on the width of the rim as well as width and make of the tires, but assuming 8" and 10" rims, then ET52 and ET65 are usually a no-nonsense fit. You can go more aggressive/wider but the fit will be tire and alignment dependent...if rolling and pulling the fenders you might be able to fit 9" and 11" with ET40 and ET52.

I'd agree about them not looking "right". Be sure and seek out plenty of pics before pulling the trigger.

I have outfit a few 993 with 19" wheels.

I think the right 19" look good on both NB and WB cars. My RUF's looked great on both the Targa and the Turbo.

I do agree though, some designs do not look right in those sizes.

Thought I'd help you out. Mike J rollin' on 19's on his Targa.

Def design dependent. I'd err on the side of caution and get the 18". Less unsprung mass, cheaper rubber, less risk of rim damage, softer/more compliant ride.
The Fikse's aren't half bad, but the RUF's would not be on my short list for the reasons stated.
