Anyone running 19" wheels on their C2?

[Booyakka]

Wondering if they fit...?

Yea, you can put 19's on any 993. But the ride quality will go down.

What would the offsets need to be to fit 8.5" fronts & 11" rears??

11's will not fit on a narrow body.

Here's mine on 19" Champions. They are 10.5 in the rear.

Not my car, but this is a NB with 19'SSR GT3 wheels.

here is a NB 993 with 8 and 11 x 18 GT-3 wheels. Rears fit with 285 tires.

fit really depends on alignment, ride height and slight differences between individual cars. while 11 inch rears fit on this car, at its alignment and height, that does not mean it WILL fit on your car. You can however adjust your alignment and ride height and probably get 11s to work.

generally speaking 11 inch rears on a NB 993 is not advised however, look for 10s or 10.5s.

That looks like a wide body C4. I have tried to put my 11's on my NB & they were no way going to fit. Not saying you can "never" put 11's on there, but it's going to be more work then it's worth.

owner told me that it is a C2 narrrowbody.

more pics of the same car. I was told it is a C2 NB car.

It's hard to tell with your pics, but silver calipers are for C4's, only the 95's were NB yours looks like a 96+.

Just for reference, here is my NB 95 C4 & my WB C4S. I tried to get the same angle as your pic. It does look like a NB car. It also looks like if you hit bad bumps, the tire is going into the fender.

All you need to do is look at the rockers... It is definetly a narrow body.

Offsets are going to make all of the difference. you can easily run a 12 inch wheel on a wide body with the right offset and my LM's that are 11's in the rear require a 14mm spacer to fill out the wells which is almost another .5 inch to the outboard.

19" wheels just don't look right on air cooled Porsches. Reminds me of the Infinity SUV.

Really. An SUV and a 911 nothing alike to me. I am shocked that 19" wheels would transform a 993 (which is a 2 doors sports car) to look like an SUV (4 door HUGE SUV). Show me a pic of the Infinti SUV that looks like the red 993 on 19" champions because I want to buy one if that is the case.
