Hey Wilber,
Thanks for the quick response!
Do they have chromed lips? Can they be chormed or highly polished?
Thanks,
Luis

 

his car is lowered and the camber has been corrected, are we sure they'll fit?

 

Now what? How about where you got those pics? If you go to the eurorev.com web site that you nicked those pics from, they don't even sell Luff wheels?

Anyway, since they invented photoshop, I don't trust anything I see 100% anyway.

I'll tell you what I do trust: math. And if you do the math, those wheels don't fit.

I would recommend to anyone looking to buy these wheels, go out to your stock rims and measure out 26mm or just a little more that 1" from the rim and see if that's where you want your wheels.

It's not uncommon to see 15mm spacers on the rear, but would you want to double that?

These wheels are great for a widebody, if you don't mine losing a 1/2 inch of rear wheel width.

And don't get me wrong, I have replica's on my car and there isn't a thing wrong with them. Except that they had a 47mm offset and I had to have them shaved to give me closer to a 53-55mm offset. I sure as heck wouldn't have gone the other way and added an 8mm spacer, which is what you are effectively doing with these wheels. And I didn't appreciate the vendor passing them off as a perfect fit for narrowbodies.

Good luck to the narrow body folks that buy these...

 

By the way, here's me water skiing this weekend:

 

...except that they're replicas

 

I feel your pain!

 

As much as you want to get technical with Wilber on sizes and what not... The 45mm offset with the 19x8.5 and 19x10.5 fit perfect on the narrow body. Here is an actual set I test fitted on my LOWERED 2000 996 C2. We mounted 235/35/19 and 295/30/19 with no clearance issues at all. In fact my Custom IFORGED wheels are pushed further out then these on my PS2 Michelins.

Verdict.... They fit. We sell these too, but this is wilburs thread.

 

BTW these wheels are to small for a Wide Body. They are 10.5 in the rear and if you have a C4S, Turbo, or 997S you want to run 11 or 11.5 with 305 or 315 on the rear. The fronts are fine.

 

Can I see a closeup of the space between the wheels and the fender on the rear? Of all the shots posted there is not one narrow body with that. There is either a straight on side view where it is impossible to see where the wheels sit, or an 3/4 shot, again impossible to clearly see how the car sits with those sized tires. Since you test mounted them, did you do any more pics?
