Hello, I am interested in purchasing some Carrera rims, the only problem I have is the part number listed seems to be for a Wide Body car which I do not have, however, the offset seems to be for a narrow body car, here are the details:

These are OEM rims, and I did do a search and the part numbers seem to be for a wide body car, and I even called the local Porsche parts and they stated the back wheels have a low offset therefore it would be for a WB vehicle, however, I told the seller where to find the offset on the wheel next to the air plug and he said the front is 57 and the rear is 67 which would fit the narrow body vehicle I believe.

Please let me know as I do like these rims but don't want to buy them only to find out they won't work, thansk.


2 Fronts
19 x 8 .Part # 997.362.156.03
235/35/19

2 Rears
19 x 11. Part # 997.362.162.03
305/30/19

 

The specs looks like its for the NB 997 which should fit fine on a stock 996 NB. Im not sure if it'll fit under a lowered 996 though. My only concern would be the rear tires. I believe the "correct" size(rolling diameter) would be 305/25/19 for the rear.

 

hmmm, that may be a problem since I am on H&R springs...

 

anyone else able to chime in?? thanks

 

They'll fit, I would actually add 15 mm spacers to the fronts. I agree that a 305/25/19 would be a better fit for the rear. Just for reference, GT3 specs are: 18 x 8.5 - 40 mm and 18 x 11 - 63 mm. Some have managed to squeeze 12's with the right offset and rolled fenders, here's a pic of a 19 x 11.5 - 62 mm.
