Default Wheel Size Help

Found some wheels I like for my 997s NB
will 19x8.5 ET 45 19x11 ET 35 have any issues on my car? or will the rear stick out too much from fenders?

I appreciate any help!

It’s an aggressive rear fit. 11” wide wheels at ET50 are pretty flush with the top of the fender, so at 35 they’ll stick out about 1.5 cm. They fit but depends what you’re looking for.

Front will be fine but rear will defiantly be an issue unless you roll the fenders and add camber. As stated 50ET might be your max unless you want to rub.

GT3 size is 19x12" 68ET and that would be close to 19x11" 55ET.

Here's some reference pics of the Carrera S II wheels with RSS spacers.

- Front - 8 x 19 ET 57 (ET 50 w/ 7mm spacer)
- Rear - 11 x 19 ET 67 (ET 52 w/ 15mm spacer)

You can go as aggressive as ET 47 up front without sticking out. ET 50 is as aggressive as you can go in the rear, though I think ET 52 is ideal.

Random observation. All of the responding posters have PRG cars.

I think you'll be fine actually. The rears might be spot on(If you're going for that super close fitment) perfect or slightly too much poke depending on your tire selection and camber/alignment settings like someone said up above.

I'm lowered maybe 2 or so inches on Ohlins Coils, with I believe -1.5 in the rear and -1.2 in the front, no extra out of ordinary alignment settings. I also have a NB Carrera S
Front: 19x9 +46 - 245/35
Rears: 19x11 +46 - 305/30

From the wheel offset calculator, you can take this as an attempt at a visual reference:
Your fronts will retract 5mm outer position from mine with 7mm more inner clearance
Your rears will extend 11mm outer position with 11mm more inner clearance (these very well might be meant for a WB 4 or 4S)
