I been meaning to join this forum for a while (I'm a benz guy..LOL), but I needed to today for some info!!!! I just bought a set of HRE C22 wheels and tires. They are 19X8.5 (50mm) and 19X11 (55mm). They were supposed to be off of a 2007 997 turbo...does the size and offsets sound right?
Also, will these fit on a 2005 non turbo (which I'm trying to buy from a friend), and will I be OK driving on the comp series daily on normal roads (since they have less fasteners and are lighter than the regular HRE's)? It was a great deal, so even though I don't have the car yet...LOL, I didn't want to pass the offer up! Any info or help would be greatly appreciated.

If this post is in the wrong place Mods...please put it where it should be.

Thanks,

 

Rear offset sounds to high. WB and NB rear wheels are different.

 

Thanks, but can you explain a bit more in depth? The car I'm trying to purchase is a 2005 carrera S. If this helps, here are the numbers on the HRE's (I'm pretty sure I'm reading them correctly).
C26519P507015
C26519P558030
Questions simplified...LOL!
1. Will they fit the 2005 S?
2. Will they fit a 2007 turbo?
3. Will the C series hold up to daily driving (compared to the R series)?

Thanks again!

 

The higher the number on the offset, the closer it is in on the fender. So a 55mm put on a Turbo would be in to far and probably hit the stock tower. The turbo is down around 40mm. Like Alan above said, those will fit the Narrow Body fine. But not the Turbo.

Competition series is designed with racing in mind, so no issues for a street car!

 

Cool deal guys, thanks alot. I really appreciate the info. I bought them without seeing them first, and when I finally seen them, I wondered why they didn't have 40 fasteners like all the previous HRE's I've owned. The guy told me they were 546's...not the comp series. WOW...stepped lips, painted centers, and 20 fasteners.......I might have to get the light to dark tint on the windows with an old school duck tail spoiler and get totally retro looking...LOL!!!!

 

Oh well, deal for the car went south!!! Not sure what I'll get now....exotics are going pretty low at the auctions out this way. Thanks again for all the info guys...I'm sure I'll be calling on your fitment expertise in the future..LOL!!!
