Hey all
Ok so here is the deal, I know that the offsets on the stock 996 02-04 was rather high all around 55mm in the back...cant recall
anyway, I am looking at these wheels that are 18x10 et30
Would those be able to run on my NB? They are concaved pretty deep, but I like them like that
Thanks for replies!

 

I have been running alot of different calculators and seeing adding and subtracting offsets with spacers.
Right now I have 285/30/18s on a 18x10 et65 wheel
I want to run the same tire on a 18x9.5 et38 w/15mm spacer.
Its a difference of .5" on the rear.
And here is why the offset is so low. I have bought from motorsports-tech wheel adapters that are hub and wheel centric for a set of Volk Te37s.
I have always loved the TE37s concaveness..and the volks they make for our P-cars is a very high offset. But I think this time, I might have the right ingredients to make this work.

 

9.5 rear with et 38? That would put the wheel about 1 inch out further than a 10inch et65. And then your gonna add 15mm spacers. I think those would stick out way too much.
Or is the et 38 the final offset after you add the spacer.

And the Volks for our cars aren't as concave as the ones they make for the Japanese cars.

 

I know that volks for the cars arent as concave..I dont like them. Thats why Im buying adapters, that is the highest offset that I can find for them, without going down to 8.5 width.
I might have to just find another wheel that I like, It seems like its .8in w/o spacer

 

Spacers decrease the offset. So 15mm spacers will make 38's into 23mm. Just the opposite of what you want.

 

I know, before I was adding it..now it makes more sense. Well looks like its going to be back to the drawing board.

I just want some wheels with a little more flare than most porsche wheels I see. The same ole 10-12 spokes.
I wanted concave, guess I will have to look around some more. thanks, I almost pulled the trigger on this

 

My 99 C2 NB originally wore 18X10 ET65 at the rear. Currently, I am running 19X10 ET50 at the rear; a negative 15MM difference. The rear rims now sit outward just enough to produce a pleasant aggressive appearance at the rear. They actually make the rear portion of my P-car appear wider. I likey.

 

Any pics? I am at a stand still again..
I live in Germany, or stationed is better way to put it
And no one company ships APO
Tirerack does, but they have a slim selection at best for my car.. (sigh) Im about to give up

 

Here you go:

 

Well good news, I found a set of Innsbrucks here in Germany for 1100 used
Going to throw maybe PS2's or something. I have to look in my garage, I think I have a set somewhere haha

Will post pics when I can
