Default Are these wheels correct?

My C4s deal feel through yesterday so i'm revisiting backup cars. Do the rear wheels on this look like they are sticking out too far? Maybe they are for a widebody? Something about that doesn't look as though it was intended.

Thanks - Shane

I just picked up those wheels (used) and know they have a very aggressive offset. I did some test fitting without rubber (got PSS9's that I need to install first) and they seem too aggressive maybe, it'll be very close and may need fender rolling and maybe some more camber to fit??? Hopefully I'll have more on this next week when I get to the suspension.

P.S. VE wheels in 19x11 with 52 offset for the rears. Those in the pic look like the same.

Too far? I think that becomes a matter of opinion.
Yes they are pushed out a bit for a NB car. That being said, if you like the look, and the tires aren't hitting the fenders then they are fine.

It'd look less weird with less tire-body gap.

You can say that again!

Yes, those wheels appear to stick out too far. It could be spacers or could be the wrong offset. I would not put those wheels on my 996 (if I had a 996).

Go find another C4S. It's worth the wait to get what you really want. Don't settle for less.

Yes the wheels do look like they are bulging out but as someone else said, there looks like there is a lot of space between the body and the tires.

I can't tell from that angle. Ask the owner to give you the offsets and widths.
