from the guy I bought them from, "hi, yes! my narrow body 997 and your 996 have same wheel setup."

he sent me pictures as well so hopefully they fit without the Spacers as he stated.

How about a different option?



I told myself I wouldn't add anything that was pure bling, but look at me now!

Just going through this myself, I do not believe you would want spacers at rear since the recommended offset for 19" is 67 and as I mentioned earlier I mounted 11" with 64 offset which sits just to inside of fender so your 56 offset will already be pushing the wheel out an additional 8 mm.

For the front, the recommended offset for 19" / 8,5 is 55 mm. my set up had a 50 mm offset so yours having a 45 offset so again will project out an additional 5 mm than mine and 10 mm than recommended. You will not know until you have tire mounted and installed on car so as to check wheel well splash guard for rubs at full turn. Keep in mind that the 235/35/19 front tire is a bit bigger in dia than OEM (do a tire comparison on google).

Have you considered the Titanium lug nuts? Acer has them for $199 a set of 20 and they also make them in black. I got there set with the optional lock lugs and they worked and look great as well as saving approx .4 lbs per wheel on unsprung weight. In addition, it looks like they have now been approved for track use. Much better price than those $800+ sets you may of seen on other sites.
