In need of some help. I'm looking to purchase the Turbo 11 Wheel in a Turbo offset for my 09 C2S. I know they fit the C2 without concerns but with the C2S being an 1" lower than the C2, plus PASM on my C2S comes the big question.

"Will they fit without any concerns" ??


Current stock offsets C2S
Front - Rims: 8 x 19 57mm - Recommended Tires: 235/35 ZR19
Rear - Rims: 11 x 19 67mm - Recommended Tires: 295/30 ZR19

Turbo Offsets
Front - Rims: 8.5 x 19 56mm - Recommended Tires: 235/35 ZR19
Rear - Rims: 11 x 19 51mm - Recommended Tires: 305/30 ZR19

Thanks

Front won't be an issue, but rear will stick out by 16mm vs current wheel. I would try installing a 15mm spacer on your current setup to see if there is any rubbing.

Try the 997 board but I think lots of guys run narrow body offset with 15mm spacers (which is close to the wide body offset you are looking at) with no issues. Or they run widebody offset wheels like you are looking to buy

I run 51 offset with 15mm spacers on 305's on my wide body with H&R lowering springs with no rubbing issues

Thanks for the replies guys. As you know OEM wheels with new tires don't come cheap so the last thing I want is surprises.

Thanks for the link Vise. I knew the rears would be out + 16mm but the fronts show + 5.3mm on the inside and + 7.3mm to the outside over the existing set up.

neil, you'll be fine

some oldish photos of my car with the same oem pasm height as you with the same wide body rear wheels are yours with 305 mpss.

if you are a little worried re road grime being kicked up to the body or if the wheels look a tad too fat from the back; just stick with the 295 in the rears. you wont notice much if any diff difference performance wise between 305/295 when driven on the road.




here is my front 8 inch wheel with a 15mm spacer. they're pretty flush. if you use the oem 8.5 +56 wheel, you'll be about 7mm less aggressive, so you can use a 6-7mm spacer to get it just as flush with the rears - but honestly i wouldn't even bother spending the money for 6mm and just skip running spacers all together with that setup. you would be running an identical wheel setup as electricChair's car and it looks fine.



front + back equally flush


hope this helps + hope you finally get them wheels for your mint car
