Wheel, spacers, and fitments
I've been thinking about upgrading my lobster forks. I have an '06 997S. I have read many of the posts. There are a set of 19" wheels off a Panamera being offered by a local vendor. The widths are 9" and 10" compared to my 8" and
11" width. Is this a problem? I've attached the link and would appreiate comments. You may have to copy and paste.

The outer edge of the front wheels will extend by 10mm. Enough inner clearance.
The outer edge of the rear wheels will retract by 7mm. Enough inner clearance too.
So, yes. In theory they should fit with a spacer in the rear and *fingers crossed* no rubbing in the front. However, I doubt these wheels are certified for a 911. Nor would I put wider wheels in the front and at the same time narrower in the rear. More grip in the front, less grip in the rear. Unless you enjoy going sideways I don't think this is an ideal combination ;-)
For USD 2'200 I am sure you can find better suited wheels for your 911. For example, a set of OZ Ultraleggera 19x8.5 and 19x11 wheels should not cost you more and is far better suited.
