997.1 C2S with OEM TT offset wheels
Hi all, newbie here and posting the first time on 6speed.
I have a 2005 C2S and recently upgraded to a set of OEM TT wheels from lobsters, with 235/35/19 front and 295/30/19 rear. Let me tell you, the wheels are hella flush and they really bring my car alive.
TT offset still fits C2S pretty well, no problem at all.

The wheel doesn't but the tire does a little. I have C4/TT offset wheels for the track and they are fine. No rub even when lowered and worked hard on the track.

Still it is wrong offset for narrow body car. OZs I got are 11.5" in rear and they do not protrude out of fenders edge at all.

Adding spacers is also the produces the "wrong" offset and I run them with my OEM street wheels. The set up works either way, so it isn't a big deal.

The fit is a bit aggressive for some however many do like the fit. Compare the fit to the 997 GT3 which is also a narrow body car. You will see that the 997 Turbo wheels, as well as the other 11x19 51mm widebody wheels, are nearly identical to the outside of the 997 GT3 12x19 67mm wheel. The GT3 uses a 5mm spacer on the rear which gives you a net offset of 62mm. An 11x19 wheel with the same outside spacing has a 49.3mm offset.

The fit is fine. I have Carrera S IIs in 4s offset (rears same as the Turbos in this thread) and the car looks perfect.
The wheels DO NOT stick out past the fenders. It just looks that way depending on the angle. No issues with rubbing, etc.
BTW, your car looks HOT
