Default Will these wheel sizes fit on 997C2S?

19 X 8.5" fronts & 19 X 11.0" rears
Bolt Pattern: 5 X 130
Offset: 55 mm fronts & 62 mm rears



Was looking at aftermarket wheels...will the sizes fit a "narrow body" 997C2S?


What tires sizes would work best on these wheels? TIA

Yes, they will fit.

Front - 235/35/19 or 245/35/19
Rear - 295/30/19 or 305/30/19

normal NB rear offset is 67, so you may need 5mm spacers on the rears ...

I think it's the other way around - 5mm spacer would take an et of 62 to an et of 57 so at an et of 62 he's already at the equivalent of an et 67 with a 5mm spacer.

oops - right - so a 62 is probably perfect!

you probably look at GT3 take off wheel? they will work on any NB car. narrow body gt3 and c2s cars use same tub.
8.5"/11" rims would want 245/305 tires

Default Another wheel fit question

19x8.5 fronts with 45 offset
19x10 rears with 55 offset


Found some aftermarket wheels that look nice. Seller provided the offsets listed above. Would these fit on my 997.1 "narrowbody" Carrera S. TIA
