Hi, I just bought my first Porsche, a 2001 Carrera and was offered wheels off of a 2004 996 Turbo. Was wondering if it will fit. I know nothing about offsets, backspacing, etc... Please advise.

 

If you just got a Carrera (not a 4s) its narrow body and the turbo is wide body so I believe they would stick out past the fender. I may be wrong though so wait till someone else answers you.

 

The wheel offered to me is 19x11 rear. Checking tirerack.com, they do offer that size(max) for my vehicle, but again, the question is regarding the offset. I believe the bolt pattern is the same at 5-130.

 

Wrong offset...will not fit...

 

I know that they are wide body offsets.....but I wonder what it would actually look like?

The stock wheel offsets are so conservative and tucked in, you can run a 15mm spacer with no problem.

You need to actally try one on.
