Techart Wheels/Tire Fitment Question

Hey Folks,

I'm working on a deal to purchase a used set of Techart wheels with Michelin PS2 tires mounted. The seller was using these on a 997 but indicates that the wheels will definitely work on my 2002 C4S as these were previously on a 996 turbo (may need spacers). It is the tires he is not sure about. The tires that he has on the Techart wheels are:

305/30/19 on the rear
235/35/19 on the front

In looking at the Techart catalog for my vehicle the tire sizes listed are:

8.5x19 et40 (235/35R19), front
11x19 et25 (315/25R19), rear
11x19 et52 (315/25R19), rear

So the front one looks okay but how about the rear?

Thanks in advance for your help!

ask the seller to get the numbers off the inside of the rear wheels (the numbers are printed on the inside)

you should def get the ET25 ones since it looks MUCH better than the ET52s for your widebody

i always thought the 997 TechArt wheels do not fit the 996... but i guess the 996 wheels fit the 997?

Hope this helps. Just letting you know, I have a pair of 11*19 ET25s TechArt wheels in silver sitting in my garage as spares if you're interested.

305/30R19 is too tall for the rear.

Jason/Mathism - thanks for the info - I've asked the seller to confirm what the offsets are and have asked if he's willing to sell just the wheels without the tires.
