Stock tires/rims are:

(front) 235/35R19 - 8.5Jx19 ET56 (rear) 305/30R19 - 11Jx19 ET51)

The offset on the rears (51 to 60) would require spacers or they will sit in too far since from what I understand the Carrera S is not a widebody (4S would be). The stock Carrera S rear offset is 67, so they were purchased to poke out more on that vehicle, but would be sunk in a little on yours. I have a set of 19" wheels that were an offset of 68 with 15mm spacers and while they look ok (68-15 = 53) I could do with a few more mm's of poke. I think 9mm would be noticeable.

Others may have input different than mine, so only take this as one man's opinion.

You would need spacers to just get back to stock setup, but even then the wheels would not be flush at the wheel wells. 15 mm on the rear would result in an effective offset of 45 which still leaves the wheel pretty far inside the well. I have a set of wheels with offsets of 45 front and 40 rear which work quite well.

Love this one too. I would want just a tiny bit less deep dish on the front but the overall look is awesome. Car colour is stunning. Reminds me of when I was a kid and we would play this card game with car pics...there was a pic of a Ferrari Daytona Berlinetta in this colour that I never forgot...

My absolute fav was the D2forged/360 rims that were posted a few years back (I'll try to find the pics). I would buy them today but I don't think the company exists anymore plus there were lots of strange rumours of questionable business tactics so I shied away back then.

Anyone familiar with Brixton Forged wheels? Decent?
I'm considering the Brixton RF7 radial forged (?flowform) wheels in 20x9 offset 45 and 20x12 offset 45. My car is lowered on GMG springs and I'm not sure if that means
that more offset should be used to avoid rubbing? Does the tire pressure stay the same between 19s and 20s?

I saw this video and around the 10 minute mark things got a bit...dicey.

d'oh!
I don't know who Alex Choi is or why there's an animal cage around his car (lambo?). Perhaps he drives down hillsides and the rims aren't rated for that, lol.
I would love to get the HRE FF01 flowform but why god don't they make it in 20x12??? Open to suggestions for "reasonably" priced rims...don't want to spend the big bucks for
the forged options...

So what are the ET requirements for running a 19x13 or 20x13 rear wheel? I know many have run 13's out back here, but not many have disclosed the magic numbers on 325 or 345 tires.

A common 19x12 offset is +45. To keep the same outside spacing you'd want 19x13 +57. That puts the inside of the wheel 1" further inboard. I can't speak to inner clearance, but that where you need to be in terms of wheel to fender clearance.

Did you have to roll or cut the rear to get them to fit with the 325?
