Hi All,
Hoping to get some help on the wheel offset of my 2010 C2 NB Cab.
Long story short, I had to replace a rear wheel and mistakenly purchased the wrong Turbo II wheel. The offset is incorrect at 51mm, whereas the direct replacement shows 67.
The 'problem' is that I really like the new look (and I wouldn't need spacers).
The proper factory recommended replacement P/N: 997-362-163-03
The incorrect replacement wheel that I bought P/N: 997-362-163-02
My questions are as follows:
Is it okay/safe to run 997-362-163-02 (51mm offset) on my NB?
Do I risk rubbing against the wheel well?

If it is safe, I realize I will have to replace my right rear wheel to match. At this point, I have to replace one of them since they now don't match. Just trying to figure out which way to go.
Here's a profile look:

That was an excellent mistake to make. You will have no problems with that offset. I have 50 offset on the rears (11" wide wheel) and no rubbing whatsoever.

Now you just need to add 15mm spacers on the front to complete the look

I have 4S wheels on my S narrow body, looks perfect to me. Its just like a 16mm spacer, no issues. May have increased road debris kicked up.

Some people say it needs to be complimented with a lowering kit, but I think it looks fine as it is.

Please post a side picture of both sides. I'd like to see the difference.

will be fine, are those 305 or 295 series tires you're running on them? have u given the car a drive yet?

Thank you all so much for the quick replies! I was hoping it was a mistake that will work out for me. They are 295s and the profile view of the sides are significantly different. I will post some more pics.
I haven't driven it yet because the rears aren't matching. More pics to come shortly.

Once I give it a quick drive the suspension will sink a little more as well , shouldn't be as aggressive. I'm running the same setup.

Hope these help depict the difference between the rear driver 51mm offset Turbo II wheels (997-362-163-02) versus the rear passenger OEM setup (997-362-163-03).
Both rear wheels fitted with the same 295/30R19 Michelin Pilot SS

With the help of friends on this forum I will also be running the turbo offset 51 rears turbo 11 wheels on my narrow body c2s. 16mm extra width outwards on the back from oem set up.

As myw says the car will settle after a drive.

Thanks, everyone! I absolutely like the look so much better and now I won't need spacers for the rears. Looks like I'll need to find another matching rear wheel (99736216302) and sell my current OEM (99736216303).
I'm finding consensus is 15mm spacers on the front (I still have the 8" ET57 wheels up front). Just starting to research those. Any advice on which brand/seller offers the best bang for the buck?
Really appreciate the guidance!

myw

get the adaptec ones - they are forum sponsors here. i have the same 15mm setup in the front on the 8 inch from wheels.

make sure u buy the same finish of the spacers/bolts to match your rear bolts!

the final matching single matching wheel in perfect condition will be a very tough find, eBay is your best bet. the mint ones are unfortunately remanufactured and hence may/may not match your factory finish.

my car with what will be the same setup as yours...

Thanks, Michael! Great set up you have. Love everything about your ride. I'll be ordering The Adaptec 15mm spacers shortly.

Out of curiosity, can you return the et 51 wheel and exchange for the et 67 then just buy spacers for all wheels, or is it too late since you have installed the tire ?


Would you mind disclosing the cost of a new turbo 11 wheel et 51

Thanks

Neil

I thought about going that route, but it's actually much easier to find an ET51 Turbo II wheel than an ET67.

I purchased 2 off eBay for the same price from 2 different sellers in NY. $487 shipped (each).
