New rims - OZ Superforgiata - should I run spacers?
New rims - OZ Superforgiata - should I run spacers?
So I just picked up a set of Superforgiata which is awesome. The offset however is essentially the same as the OEM 997.1 wheels which was rather conservative.
OZ offsets:
19x8.5" front ET53
19x11" rear ET51
I'm contemplating running 12mm-15mm spacers in the rear and 10mm up front.
Car isn't lowered and I have no plans to do so in the near future. I'd like an aggressive stance but no more than flush fitment.
Does this seem reasonable?

I think you will be fine but 10MM up front might be too aggressive...may want to go with 7MM becuase if I am not mistaken the front stock wheel is 19x8 and 57MM...The OZ you bought are 8.5 and 53MM so they have already pushed things out a bit???
BTW I friggin love the OZ Superforgiata wheel...if I decide to update my wheels they will be my choice!!!
PS I need to update my avatar and signature as I just bought a 2009 997TT

Yeah I think you could go 15MM on the back because the OZ rear wheel is the same offset as a stock wheel at ET51...the only difference would have been if you would have gotten the 19x12 wheel...then you may only go 10MM???
IMHO 7 mm is perfect for the front..I just installed 15 in the rear and Its fush with the fender...it's perfect from the side and the front...my only complaint is because the mpss has a slight bend on the outer structure of the tire it sticks out from the rear just a bit...I'll have to review again when my suspension system sits as it was hanging off the lift for about 1hour.... I'll be back in my garage on Friday were I can take pics...

Details on the 09 TT.
Oops...your right...also I could not believe the stock Turbo Wheels are 11in in the rear...I would have thought 11.5in at least???
