I am looking at buying a set of wheels and am not sure if they will properly fit my 09 Carerra 2S Cab. I don't really know much about offset and the other parameters of wheel fitment. They are 19 X 8 with a 46 offset for the front and 19 X 11.5 with a 44 offset on the rear. I really need help trying to determine if the will fit before I commit to buy. What do you guys think?

 

44 et for the rear is a widebody (C4, Turbo, Targa) fitment. The will stick out too far. Here's a calculator - plug in OEM sizes and new sizes to see the differences.

NON 4/4s/turbo - rear offset needs to be 52+ (SOME 51's fit but youre taking a risk)

 

51's are the wide body rear offset. The narrow body is usually about 67mm.

 

Thanks, you saved me from making a big mistake.

 

Nope front will not fit no way

 

fronts will fit just fine (all 997's can share front wheels) but rears will stick out past the fenders. i have turbo ii 19x11 +51 rear wheels on my nb and they fit fine.

 

"All 997's can share front wheels" - maybe but he wasn't asking about an OEM offset - he was asking about an et of 46 for the front and 46 isn't OEM.

 

46 offset will NOT work on a 8x19 wheel on a 997. It will be pushed outward past the fender. It will extend from stock another 10mm or so.

 

Thanks for all of the replies. Obviously, I passed on the purchase.

 

Is this really true? I am talking aftermarket wheels and their wheel offsets since different model 911s, such as 997.1 C2 and C2S's have different brake and caliper sizes in front.
