Wheel question for 981

I'm looking to get some O.Z Leggera HLTs for my car but wanted to deviate from the recommended wheel size. Does anyone know if 20x11 will fit in the rear? if so, what offset did you go with? And tires size?

for the front i think 20x8.5 should fit?

Would be awesome if you have some pictures you can post.

Thanks!!!

20x11 ET 50 should work with 295/30/20 tires.
20x8.5 ET 55 with 245/35/20 will be your best bet to go with those rears.

However, I really don't think you need that much wheel or tire for this car. All it will do is add weight.

The only reason I can see to spend the money of going wider is for increased contact patch on the track or for auto-X. For street use, stick with stock size wheels and tires. There is nothing gained for street use only with wider tires.

true, but i'm going for the aggressiveness of the wider wheels where it comes flush with the car/fender.

If that is your specific goal, your best best is to use spacers or get a custom built wheel. No reason to add unnecessary rotating unsprung mass if you don't really need to.

On the other hand, if you really like the design of the wheel and the price is right for you, go for it.

If your still wheel shopping let me know and I can have a wheel engineered for your vehicle with no spacers and OEM flush fitment.
