Anyone running wb 997 wheels on a nb 996? 19x11 rear et51? If yes what tire size?

 

19 by 11 with an et51 is going to stick out way too much. I'd look for a et63-67 ish wheel for a 11" width.

 

305/25/19 should fit fine btw on a 11

 

I have had the 997 turbo 5 spoke wheels on my car before and it was perfectly lined up with the fenders. I'm not sure of the offset but they were OEM not reps.
19x11 315/30/19

 

My friend with a 996 GT3 is running 19x11's +50 w/ 295/30/19's..The wheels/tires are lined up RIGHT with the fenders..I would imagine that any 996 narrow body would be able to pull off the same wheel/tire setup with rolled fenders and 996 GT3 alignment specs..

 

Nijoma - did you ever do the upgrade? And if so how was the fitment?

 

I am running 19x11 with an et 52 with 315/25/19 and they look great and barely stick out. I have no issues and it looks great.

 

What year is your 996, and any pictures?

 

did you have to roll the fenders or doe sit clear - mine has a pss9 coilover so i am hoping it should not need a fender roll

 

i am in the market for new wheels for my 996 nb and have been doing some research. The only tire with close to the correct overall diameter that fits an 11" is 305/25-19. The problem is there are only one or two tires to choose from and they are pricy. Also, i think the an et of 51 may be too aggresive. i agree with geetee about the et.

 

Not perfect, but a 295 30 19 will work no problem.

 

9" min width in front and 11" min width in back. Front ET's can be anywhere from mid 50's (stock) to mid 40's. Rears can be from low 50's (stock) to mid 30's. I have 11.5 rear with about a 35mm offset. Pokes and bit, but still deciding if I like it. I may reduce from 10mm to 7 or 5, not sure yet. Front is perfectly flush, no rubbing.
