Wheel offset question

I am about to buy a set of 19" Turbo wheels for my 997.2 base Carrera (narrow body). Just making sure the offset is correct for my car.

Wheel width: 8.5 Front and 11.0 rear
Offset: ET.55 front and ET.67 rear

Also, my car came with the 5mm spacers from the factory. Should I leave those on?

Thanks!

Those are the correct wheels for that car. I would definitely leave the spacers on. In fact I would get thicker spacers, but that's just me.

Actually, the stock offsets are 19x8 ET57 front and 19x11 ET67. If the turbo style fronts are actually 8.5" wide with a 55 offset then they will extend in by an extra 4mm and out by an extra 8mm. You may want to do a test fit and see how it looks with your spacers as your fronts will stick out 13mm and your rears only 5mm.
