Wheel's offset for 997 ?
Hi,

I tried a set of wheels that was ok on a 996 but doesnt fit my 997 c2s (caliper/high offset)

Do you know what is the offset (and max wheel's width F/R) on a 997 ?

Seems harder than ever to fit aftermarket wheels...

Thank you

Jonathan

OEM Lobsters on a 997C2(S) are +67mm rear and +57mm front. 19X8 and 19X11. You can go as wide as 19X9 on the front and 19X12 don't know the offsets for this setup though.

Do a search there are a lot of threads regarding this.

p-cardriver is infamous around these parts
Offsets are lower on the wide bodies. There are a couple of pages in the manual (mine is an '07) with all the factory sizes of wheels and tires.
