I don't know if this issue has been addressed before but I need new set of rims and was planing to upgrade to 19 inch rims . Will these rim fit my 2003 C4 ?

Thanks

Front Wheels:
* 19" x 8.5"
* 56mm offset
* 5x130 bolt pattern
* made in Germany

Rear Wheels:
* 19" x 11"
* 51mm offset
* 5x130 bolt pattern
* made in Germany

Tires: t
Bridgestone Potenza
305/30ZR19 rear
235/35ZR19 front

 

R U sure of front tire size, mine are 295 not 235,,i have turbo wheels and I believe offsets are same as yours, not positive, but sounds right

 

So you think I won't have any issues with those offsets ?

My car is factory and not lowered

 

295s up front?? That's a rear tire width (285, 295, or 305 are the most common). I've had several sets of wheels & tires and 235/35 is commonly recommended for 19" wheels.
Go to tire rack.com and enter your car's year and model; the they will suggest tire sizes.

 

235

Here are the specs
305/30ZR19 rear
235/35ZR19 front

I just want to make sure those offsets and sizes are not gonna cause any problems with a c4

Thanks

 

I stand corrected, think I had a brain fart..they are 235 on front 305 on back..

 

Rears will stick out and rub over big bumps. The rears are widebody turbo offsets. If you're going with 11" rears, you need to find offsets in a 65-68mm offset for a narrow body if you want factory like fitment.

 

he has a C4,,,wide body just like turbo,,his offsets should be perfect,,im running OEM turbos on my C4 with 235 fronts and 305 backs and looks great to me,,,correct me ifn im wrong.. no spacers needed....
offsets are confusing

 

?? OP said C4, not C4S. I'd have thought he has a narrow body -- stock size of 285/30 on a 18x10 wheel. But I'm a 996.1 guy, so I could be all wrong.

 

You're correct - C4 /=/ C4S. The 4S is the wide body car whereas the 4 is the narrow body.

 

will an expert chime in here. Both C4 and C4s have same wide ***..I understand only difference between the two is S has bigger motor/ brakes and a few other things..

 

I'm no expert but 996 C4 is NOT a wide body. They're the same as the C2.

 

I think the Turbo and C4S are the widebodies in the 996 fleet, and the others are NB cars (C2, C4, 40th AE, Millenium). For the 997, that may have changed.

 

You're on the money there.

It does appear a fair bit wider but I'm fact the C4S is only 2.5 inches wider than the NB

 

I guess those won't fit then?

I also thought that C4 has the same NB as C2 s
