Default BBS CH-R 11" 56 ET or 12" 45 ET for 997 C4S

Trying to wrap my head around what is the right selection for the rear of my C4S. I figured i would throw it out for comment as i have searched a bit in the forum and the web with no other discussions. FYI - I will be running standard rubber 305/30/19.

Somewhat oddly the wider set is less expensive.

Thanks in Advance for any feedback.

Is your car lowered? 12" ET45 is a very nice look if you are, 11" ET56 will not look good on a widebody regardless of whether you are lowered or not (it will tuck in). The 12" ET45 wheel will stick out ~24mm (just shy of an inch) more than the 11" ET56. Hope this helps. For reference this is a 19x12.0 ET48 on a friend's slightly lowered widebody 997 with 325 tires:

Definitely get the 12" wheels. I think many would consider that the 11" is not even far enough out to be flush for a narrow body.

Thanks very much for the responses.. i actually have decided to go in a different direction and go with OZ Ultraleggera which i have used before and like. It's a bonus that their 50 offset are closer to what i want plus there's a bit of cost savings as well. The HREs on the GTS are impressive.

Best Regards,

Tom
