Discontinued Ruf Wheels Question
I came across a set of discontinued OZ Ruf Wheels. Its a staggered set up with the front being 18×8.5″ wheels carry part number 63001001 and have a 58mm offset. The rear wheels are 19×10″ wheels bear part number R96.362.12010 and have a 66mm offset. The 18'' will fit a 996TT according to the RUF site but the 19's for the RUF is 19x11 with a 55mm offset. Will I be able to make 19x10 with 66mm offset work? I dont race, this is strictly for road driving with occasional spirited driving.

et 55 will poke 1/2 “ on C2
No opinion on staggering a 19 with an 18 except the 996 is rake sensitive.

You don't say what body you have -- narrow body or wide. 66mm offset is going to be 996 narrow body fitment, perhaps also an earlier aircooled car. (Factory 996 C2 18" wheels are 65mm offset.)

Imho, I would stick with 18s all the way around. 8s and 10s or 8.5s and 11. The 996 is an incredibly handling car if you stay within the spec ranges. But you can really screw it up when you go outside the range.
