Default fitment question on 07 911 narrow body

Will the 07 19 inch turbo wheels fit on an 07 Carrera (non S) model.
If not what spacers are needed?
Running a 235/35/19 on the front and a 305/30/19 on the rear.

Thanks!

Porsche made the rear 997.1 Turbo wheels in both wide body and narrow body offsets. However, the front wheel only come in one offset which will fit on both N/B and W/B cars.

A few here will tell you that the W/B offsets will fit on a N/B car, and they are right.. They will fit, but not properly. They will be very aggressive and the rear wheels/tires will be extend outside the rear fender well.

I suggest you try to find some N/B offsets for the rear.

it is aggressive, but there is no rubbing. whether or not it "fits" is up to your own taste, but they do work. these are WB offsets, 305 tires, and I am running a 5mm on the front pair to balance out the aggressive offset at the rear.

I've recently had the same question. Some aftermarket wheels push the offset of the rim to the edge but I'm not sure if the look is the same as WB Porsche wheels.

^^^ You car doesn't seem to be lowered so my question is would the tires rub if your car was lowered???
