Help with rims please

So I'm planning on getting HRE 590R 19x11.5 rear then 19x 8.5 front silver with a polished lip my car is black

Question 1- Should I run 9.5 in the front since it's stock 9.5??

Question 2 - what offset should I run?? I've tried looking but I can't find it?

I am on H&R Springs with a 15mm spacer

Thanks a lot for your input

Kris,
The 996 front is 8.5 OEM, not 9.5

Correct fitment for your set up is 19x12 and 19x8.5

Can I quote you a set.. PM me

Wheel Boutique, I've got a question about offsets and/or spacers. My 996TT stock wheels don't really fill out the fenders. I have been thinking about a 15mm spacer all around to give the car a proper look and have the added bonus of a wider track. While at my tech's shop last week, he mentioned the same thing could be done with wheels by changing to a set with different offsets. Since my stock offsets are 45 and 50, what offset would I have to go to to get the same look as stock wheels with 15mm spacers? Is this workable and safe for the track?

Sorry for the hijack.

ummm we don't know the MY or model of the car??? if it is a 996TT then the stock rims are 18 x 8.5 and 18 x 11....so if you go to 19s, I would keep the same widths...the 12's would be for a GT2 AFAIK
