Another offset Question

Would these work on my 997.2 NB at all?

Stock height (may do H&R springs eventually)

Rear 19", ET31, 11" w/ 295/30

Front 19", ET41, 8.5" w/ 235/35

front is fine the rear is aggressive. You might need to do tire stretch. Roll fender or shave fender for sure. let's say after market in Okay looking flush(no fender roll needed) is about 21mm tuck in from your spec.

it is about 21mm closer to fender from this one in the pic. So I would say it might stick out or being really close to fender.
Not impossible. It could be done with stretch tire and camber.

295 won't do the job

Not worth attempting IMO. You would surely need to roll the fender and it may not look right with that much offset in the rear.

OEM rears are ET 67mm correct. If so, your ET 31 will be pushed out 36mm or almost 1.5 inches - way too much in my opinion.

I think it's just right. ET31 might be too aggresive, but ET36 may work for you.

Thanks for the replies guys, on another note, from what I gather... factory 997 Turbo wheels will work just fine, right?

Did you mean 295 in the back and 235 in front ??

Do you have photo of you your set up?

Do you need to roll fender for that ?

I'm about to buy spacer ti push my wheels out a little bit. and I'm doing calculation.
