I just got myself my first porsche and LOVE IT. Its a 2000 Carrera 4, black with a mustard/black interior. And an alcantera roof. I want to upgrade the original turbo twists to oem 997 19s. They are the simple 5 spoke design powdercoated flat light black. I think they look really clean.

Can anyone tell me if i will have rubbing issues with 19x8 et57mm and 19x11et67mm. They are going to come with 235/35/19 front and 295/30/19 in the back. I really hope ill be alright because im about to jump on them. The vendor says they fit 996s perfectly. of course he would say that though.

Here are some pics of my baby, hope they work.

sweet!

 

Looks good, congrats! I think those wheels/offsets would fit on narrow bodies like yours.

 

i really hope so, i had the wrong offsets on my other car, and it turned my 4 door jag into a noisy 2 seater. and it chipped the fender paint.

 

nice, what kind of camera is that? is that a wide angle lens?

 

The interior pics are with my sigma 10mm f2.8 fisheye lens on my xti. When i clean the car up, and maybe get my new wheels, i'll break out my tripod and take some nice pics of her. I like that front bumper btw, but i think in nyc the potholes will rip off the lip...

 

congrats

 

looking good! Those wheels will fit - I was thinking of the same wheels but went with 18's because I drive into the city a lot. Mine came with oem 17's (still for sale) and the upsize and wider wheels did increase the noise somewhat but didnt hurt ride quality much.

 

cool..looks sharp

 

thanks alot everyone. I think im going to go through with the wheels! i never had 19's before, first time for everything i guess. I like a rough jarring ride in a sports car though.

 

Looking good my friend!!! I like suede! What is your first mod?

 

Nice ride! Congrats and welcome to the 6!

Congrats and enjoy....there is nothing like a Porsche!!

 

I have almost the same setup, with the exact same tire dimensions.
Front 19x8 46 offset
Rear 19x11 68 offset

I think my fronts sit in too much (not flush with fender), so your 57 offset will probably look a lot better.

Welcome to the 6.

 

Looks great! No need to worry about mustard stains from eating your hamburger in the car
