Fitment issue.

Is there anyway this is going to fit?



the car is off the ground, so it will tuck some due to camber, but I dont think its going to be enough?!?

Well, really don't think so unless you transform your car to be a "monster" 996TT.

What is the width and offset? I have seen a 12" with et20 on a widebody 996 so I know it can be done. Camber on that car wasn't ridiculous either. I just picked up some 18x12s with et25 but haven't had a chance to test fit them yet. You will definitely need to have your rear fenders rolled if you haven't already. With enough camber anything can fit! ; )

very very aggressive!!! have you considered having the hub milled down to increase the offset? or get new wheels!

to put it into perspective im on 11" rears with et36 with 315 tires.. im debating whether or not i need to roll my fenders.

i am planning to back the car up onto a curb with one wheel to get the wheel tucked in at maximum compression and see if it rubs the fenders...

I would be very careful about driving before you get the fenders rolled or the hubs milled. I thought I could be careful...but my first drive in my neighborhood I hit a small dip in the pavement and the fenders cut the sidewalls terrible. Since then I dumped my spacers and got new tires.

Off-set information would be ideal to post, given the angle of the photo/car on the lift etc. it will be a little hard to make the final call...

How wide and off-set..

they are iforged classics. Is the offset stamped anywhere on them? Can it be measured?

rears are 19x11

19x8.5 +40
19x11 +35

I am a little less nervous now, the person I purchased from has assured me they fit perfect on a 996tt. I should have searched offsets before posting, just seeing 1/2" of the wheel past the fender scared me, I dont want to look like a stretched ricer.

You got at least another 1" of wheel and +7mm offset available to you you will be fine !

11x19 and +35 should post no problems if they really are +35. That's only 10mm more than the regular ET45, which in turn is less than an OE GT2 wheel that fits right on being 12mm wider inside and outside. Plus you can add a 7mm spacer on GT2 wheel totalling 19mm wider. Then you still have margins (at least with rolled fender).
