Default Lobster Claw Wheels
Looking for a set of Lobster Claws for my narrow body C2, was hoping someone might help clarify part / sizing - is this correct?

NARROW BODY / S
Rear Size: 19x11
Offset: 67
Part No: 997.362.162.01

WIDEBODY / 4S
Rear Size 19x11
Offset: 51
Part No: 997.362.162.00

Would the 51 offset fit a narrow body?

The 67 offset is the correct rear wheel for your car, per Porsche spec.

The 51 offset will be pushed out equal to or beyond the fender wells before consideration of tire size.

FYI: If you want fitment flush with the fender well without spacers, here's the recommendation of HRE, the wheel maker:

Front 19x8.5 ET51 235/35-19 Tire
Rear 19x11 ET56 305/30-19 Tire

X51 - appreciate your help, as I thought, those wheels may look a little odd on a narrow body. Was enquiring as there is a set advertised as 'will fit a narrow body', they may well fit, but not look quite right.

Also , I have a set of original lobsters from my '06 C2s with almost new snow tires (less than 1000 miles) that I could part with. I never seem to get around to mounting snow tires in Vancouver. Damn global warming - no snow these days...

I see you are in Boulder.
I have a set of Lobsters from my narrow body 997S in Broomfield.
Perhaps we could work something out.
They were used for 9000 miles and removed. They still have Pirelli Pzero tires on them but they are essentially worn out in the rear.
