I'm currently in the market for some new wheels getting sick of my p40's. I was wondering if these specs would work on my 2008 turbo. specs: 20 x 8.5 (et44) and 20 x 11 (et56). I'm lowered as well.

Thank you

 

front should be ok, rear will require 15mm spacers and still won't be aggressive enough. I'd pass if i had to go over 15mm.

 

Even with a 15mm spacer in rear fronts are still aggressive relative to rear. With 44 up front target 33-35 in the rear

 

Let me know when you make a change. I might be interested in your HREs.

 

Will do they are in excellent condition and just put new rubber on the wheels that only have about 150 miles on them.

 

so what is the ideal specs? im actually about to order my new wheels too and the specs are 19x9 +52 front and 19x12 +50 in the rear. will that sit flush or do I have to add spacers in order to make the wheels sit flush on the fenders?


PS. sorry for the thread jack op!

 

Front is fine as noted, but the 11" rear will lead to sub-optimal (IMO) front and rear tire sizes/choices. 11" is too narrow for a 325/25.

I'd suggest getting a 12" rear, which allows you to run 325/25. At 42mm offset it'll yield something fairly flush.

 

Are you lowered? If so, 52mm front is fairly flush for the 9". For the rear 42mm will be pretty flush for the 12".

 

ill be dropped on GMG springs, so should i get like a 5 or 7mm spacers in the rear?

 

Depending on your taste those wheels might sit too far in so spacers may be in order. I've never used spacers, but read that they can be fine. I generally prefer a rim that doesn't require a spacer tho.

 

im like that too... I never use spacers on my cars, but for the Porsche I wanted the wheels to sit as flush as possible to the fenders.

 

im about to order my wheels, but the vendor i was speaking with told me that i should run 19x8.5 +40 front and 19x12 +50 rear, which alot of GT2 people run on my 997.1 TT, what do you guys think about this set up? i wanted to run 245/35/19 front and 325/30/19 rear MPSS also...

 

Fronts are aggressive rear not aggressive enough

 

yup, those fronts are going to stick way out. et45 on stock sized front wheels is pretty flush, so et40 and you're 5mm outside the fender wall

 

I run these wheel and tire specs and use a 5mm spacer in the rear, lowered on KW Clubsport. The fronts do not hang out, but if you aren't low enough they might look that way. They do tuck.
