Help with wheel offset
I am looking at a set of the new style 911 turbo wheels for my 01 996tt, the question I have is that the seller claims these wheels will fit my car with no spacers but the offset is way different than my stock wheels
Here is the breakdown of the new wheels:
front 8.5x19 +57 offset
rear 11x19 +67 offset
I think these are for a narrow body car but let me know what you think..

You can do a search as I know this has been discussed before. I know the offsets are different but don't remember the details of making them work.
Another issue to be aware of is getting the tire diameters right on 19's. The standard 997 tire setup won't work on a 996 because of differences in the front differentials.
I looked at this option a couple of months ago and decided it was too much trouble to mess with. Good luck.

Front wheels can use 5 to 15mm spacer. Rears need at least 22mm to get you back to stock offset and could use up to 30mm. It is very important to not use 997 rear tires as it will cause your front differential to overheat and fail.
