Hi guys, i`m trying to figure out wheel specs which suit my narrow body 997.1 C2S with factory aerokit, i`m looking at 19" wheels, front 9J ET53 and rear 12J ET46, will it fit? Or this specs is for GTS and C4S only? while we are here maybe there is some recommendations for this car which specs should i go for, it will be mostly weekend road car, but i like almost flush look and car is lowered on coils.
any help appreciated, thank you!
I think the issue is going to be the wheel width for the rear.
I have 9J +50 and 11J +50 with 20mm spacers on rear and 5mm on front on my C2. Car is pretty slammed and doesnt rub at all.
The GT3 fitment is a 12 et68 and a hair conservative so the specs above are spot on. I hate poke so I wouldn't go beyond 12 et65
The 997.1 GT3 did come with 19x12"ET68 but they also had 5mm spacers from the factory essentially making them ET63. The 997.2 GT3 had the offset of the wheel changed to ET63.
Nice to see lots of different looks being explored on 997s other than BBS. On the 997 GT3/RS side BBS almost look like OEM wheels since everyone has them.

They look perfect and every 911 should have BBS Mesh style wheels on them. Now you just have to lower the car and get rid of that 4x4 look.
Agreed on the 4x4 look!! hahaha the problem are the streets and speed bumps in Mexico City, this makes impossible to use the car as it will rub all the time
I had BBS Style 42s on my E39, and absolutely loved the wheel. I want a set of BBS for my .1 C4S (to pay homage), but am a bit nervous as I do not personally love the huge 'lip' that the rears have when on WB fitment. What are your thoughts on RS-GTs or maybe even LM-Rs on WB .1s? I also want to avoid using a rear spacer, but seems it is required with a rear 11.5" width.

I think I asked this on Facebook group already but you said this car does have PASM? I'm just surprised it looks so tall / has such wheel gap.
The silver on blue is amazing though and congrats again!
Perfect, thank you for detailed information, exactly what i was looking for. For me it`s first 911 and i never had a chance to fiddle around with wheels, so kind of confused when jumping right into it, this community is great, a lot of helpful info from all of you, thanks!

Ride height is normal for PASM. SPASM will be a bit lower

Thanks for the input!
LM-R would need a spacer since they only offer 19 x 11 et63
RSGT same situation w 19 x 11 et60 would require a spacer
You could possibly do a 3pc custom wheel w the LM-R or RSGT but then it becomes a bit costly and no longer a BBS wheel
We do have a lot of options. If you like shoot an email over I can share so I dont clutter this thread! sales@supremepower.com
