Default Flush 19x11 offsets +40 plus narrow body

Anyone running +40 to the +35mm range? C2 body, 305 tires, camber 1.8-2.1neg

that’s going to be flush to very flush range

currently 19x11 +56 w/7mm spacer effective +49, so I have some room.. I was thinking just doing a +15-18 spacer…

It will work, you may have some rubbing depending on what tire brand you choose.

I know +40 would work … I’m just wondering how far have people here taken it. I like flush but no rubbing allowed, that’s where I draw the line 😜

There’s a member that is running 19x11 +40 and another member running 19x11.5 +35 on narrow body 997. I just bought a set of wheels with 19x11 +35 so hoping they are flush once coilovers are installed. Link of thread below.

+40 is possible but 35? That’s going to stick out.
depends on how low the car sits too

just picked up a set of OZ ultraleggera (19x8.5 +53 and the rears are 19x12 +68). was sweating since these came off a 997 GT3. I know they're narrow body or at least at the time I bought the wheels from the guy he assured me the Gt3 is narrow body, but they still ended up fitting my narrow body C2 pretty flush.

is the question of fitment because there are widebody and narrowbody 997's? and that a mfg will build the wheel to the appropriate body style? and if so, I've heard that widebody rims still manage to fit narrow body even though they could potentially go beyond flush.

do you have WB or NB? NB cars imo +40 on an 11” would be the most I’d ever go. I have +44 and it’s flush

These are 11.5 +35 so basically 11 +29
