WHEEL FITMENT
Hey guys quick question as I know nothing of how offsets work on rims. I have a C2S Cab and wanted to know if 19 x 8.5 ET 55 Fronts and 19 x 11 ET 55 Rears fit my car? If not would it with spacers. Thanks in advance guys

They should work just fine. My 19" Kinesis F110's are 8.5" ET 50 and 11" ET 58. Both my fronts and rears are pretty close to being flush with the fender. Your fronts will be a little further in then mine and your rears will be slightly further out but not past the fender. Sounds like you've found a nice aggressive offset. You could technically get away with a 5mm spacer up front if you wanted to go a tad more aggressive.

No....definitely not. 19 inch rears for a 997 should be no less then 11". A lot of aftermarket wheel manufactures will go 11.5 and some even stretch to 12. Make sure you are buying quality wheels from a reputable shop. I'd suggest Wheel Enhancement, Wheel Experts & Tirerack. Also, focus on brands that produce strong (preferably forged) lightweight wheels such as Champion, BBS, Fikse, OZ, Volk, CCW, Work etc. Dont buy cheap, heavy narrow wheels for your Porsche.
