Default 19" wheels on Carrera
Will the factory 19" wheels fit on a standard 2009 Carrera (non-S, non-4)? Dealer says that they will not, but I thought that 19" wheels were an option.

Thanks,

Lew

Yes they will if you get 57 offset on front and 67 offset on rears. I just put a set with 11.5 inch rears and 305s on my '09 C2 with no problems.

They are an option and I have 19 inch wheels on my 09 Carrera. Sounds like your dealer was having an off day :-)

Just to beat a dead horse :-) Got 19" S wheels on my '09.
Don't ask the dealer anymore difficult questions!

Thanks. I thought so. It was actually two different dealers. NYC and Mainline. Strange.

Thanks for your help.

Found the same thing to be true here in Portland, "the only parts that fit your car, are the parts that came on your car".
Kind of a strange mentality, especially if they want to sell more parts!

Were you asking your dealer about a specific set of wheels or just generally about 19" wheels?

We specifically asked about the 19" OEM wheels from a 997 2S.

It's funny, the Ferrari and AMG dealerships had just the opposite approach.
