So I like these Champion wheels but my car is a 2006 Carrera C2. I know zero about offsets so I wondered if any of you more knowledgable guys could say if these offsets would fit a NB?
Current tire sizes are 235/35/19 and 305/30/19. I dont mind aggressive look as long a they dont poke out.
Thank you. https://rennlist.com/forums/market/1197860#post16692232

 

Rears will poke by about a finger past the fender unless you dial in some camber. A flush optimal rear offset would be 19x11.5 +55.

 

Thanks for the quick reply. Don't really want to start fooling with camber adjustment. I wish I were WB.

 

Those may fit if you are lowered on Eibachs, and right tire profile (MPS4s maybe), but it is going to be close. I would do more research to really figure it out as those are really nice, light forged wheels with the deep dish look assuming that is what you are after and price is right. The 1.5 inch wider (3/4 each outside / inside = stock (58MM) plus a 19 mm spacer = 39 offset effectively, but then you have the offset at 44 already on these so I'm not sure what that equates to in terms of adding another xxMM 9MM? offset to the equation).

 

Best case scenario is that they barely fit. More likely that it will poke out. The wheels look amazing though!

 

As you know, I also have a NB C2S. The Champion wheels I had on the car had a 62mm rear offset.

Champion RS171 Wheel Specs
Front - 19" x 8.5" with 53mm offset
Rear - 19" x 11.5" with 62mm

The ones you're looking at are a 44. That's 18mm or just about 3/4" further out than this.



These ADV1 wheels were 1/2 narrower in the rear (11" vs 11.5") so 1/4" inside and outside, and with a 52mm offset they are 8mm less aggressive than the ones you were looking at, so the ones you're considering would be 14mm further out than these. I did not like this look at all and pulled them off after about 2 weeks.

Model ADV05 Mv1 SL (forged 1 piece lightweight)
19x8.5 with 42mm offset
19x11 with 52mm offset


Look past the fronts (which were even worse) to the rears.


Conclusion - no, those won't fit well.

Also, personal opinion of course, but that deep fish wheel with polished lip looks very late 80s to me and the 997 is too modern looking for that look.

BTW, my Champions in picture #1 are for sale, but in there polished and clear powdercoated state.
