Default Want set of Lobster Claws(Forks) for 07 C4S

All,

Looking for nice set of 19" Lobster Claw/Fork wheels for 07 997 C4S I am having PPI'd next week.
I feel confident the car will check out ok so thought I would start the hunt.

**Car has been lowered 1" and has (almost new) 19" Black Forgestar CF5V wheels with Hancock V12 tires - only 1600 miles on both. Wheel sizes are 19x8.5 and 19x11
*Looking to sell these

Would appreciate someone familiar with sizing to let me know what size/offset I will need for the 07 997C4S - I think I might need spacers?

Thanks in advance!

Here are the options for the Lobster Forks on Suncoast: https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/G1997CSLC.html

There were narrowbody and wide body options, if you find rear wheels for the narrowbody car you will need to add spacers.

Currently the 07 C4S I am purchasing has black Forgestar wheels - I'm not into black wheels and reason for change

Here's a pic of rear wheel currently on car

I'm local in Seattle and have lobster claws in widebody fitment that I'd be interested in trading. They're currently getting refinished this week.

I've got a set of NB lobster claws (black with unpainted rims) in excellent condition - on the car now in my avatar. I've got another set (different) wheels I've got plans on having refinished to replace them.

This sounds very good - As mentioned I am PPI'ing car down in SF 6/14 and if all checks out flying down 6/25 to purchase - I'd be very interested in working something out especially if you have newer tires with the wheels.
Do you have tires that are fairly new for the wheels? If so what brand/size? Shoot me an email: cerialephotography@yahoo.com

My wheels/tires have 1600 miles on them and are like new - They where purchased in Feb 2018 and description is in my above post.
