Hi,
So i'm picking up this car on Friday and i wanted to know what size these wheels/tires are?
Are these 19's?
The reason i ask is because i just ordered a set of Replica 997 Turbo rims and i want to make sure i don't have to order a new set of tires.
Wanted to make sure these were 19's...
The Turbo rims are getting are 19 x 8.5 front and 19 x 11 in the rear.

Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

 

The lobster fork wheels are 19's.

 

Awesome!
Thank you very much.

So i'm guessing the tires that come with the car should fit on my Replica Turbo Rims?

And were these optional wheels on the car or they were the standard wheels.

 

I don't know anything about replica wheels.

It is my understanding that the OEM 997 Turbo wheels made for a 997S are not the same wheel size as those made for the Turbo. The wheel shops would be better able to answer the size and offset questions you may have. ----> site sponsors --->

What does concern me is the safety of a replica wheel (or any wheel for that matter) . The 997Turbo wheel is a forged wheel and with that comes the light weight as well as the tested strength to hold up on a car of this level.

Two wheels can look the same but it's the build quality that's very important in regards to safety . An inferior wheel can pose the risk of a cracked center.

I urge you to do the research not just on the size and offsets but on the build quality and safety tests done on any wheel that is placed on the car.

Good luck.

 

just in case there is a problem with the replicas. A lot of guys run replicas w/o trouble but stupid stuff like clear coat peeling can happen. I like the lobster forks, drive on both and see how it feels then decide.

 

8x19 Front with 235-35-19 tires
11x19 rear with 295-30-19 tires....you can also fit 305-30-19's on rear too.

 

There were pictures on this forum a few months ago, of a set of cheap wheels that broke while under braking. Be careful with cheap wheels, in most cases you get what you pay for.

 

+1 million! STAY WAY from cheap priced/maufactured replica wheels and many of the lower end cast wheels on the market. If you are going with a cast wheel use a stock Porsche wheel or a OZ or BBS wheel. Or step it up with a Forged wheel from HRE, BBS, Forgeline, CCW, Volk, Work ect.
