Question Hi wheel fitment experts!

Hey! I'm new to the to the Porsche 911 world but loving it so far.

Got a question, many but I'll narrow it down to just the one, in two parts.

I have a 997.1 C2S and I'd like to take off the lobster claws. I found a wheel but not sure if these will work.
Fronts are 8.5x 19. ET 27
Rears are 11x 19. ET 40
They're coming off a 993. I'm assume that spacers are required, what sizes...
and is their any cautions to running with spacers?

Any knowledgeable advise is welcomed.

I appreciate it, Thanks

Nope. Your front offset needs to be 50-55mm, and the rear should be around 60-65mm.

So... “Nope” is that to the spacers or running the wheel at all? Fronts at ET 27 and rears ET 40 so these won’t work is what I take from your response.
This isn’t my field, so I’m not wanting to buy a set of wheels that rub or simply can’t be used.

I really do do appreciate the input.

If the wheel has an offset higher than you need, you can fix it with spacers. If the offset is too low, you have to buy a new wheel unless you mill some pad depth off the back of the wheel - and that's not at ALL recommended.
