Hi all,
to begin with, I would like to say, I am so disappointed with Porsche technician.
Its should be fairly simple question for them, as the wheel i am thinking of is an OEM porsche 18" carrera rim, however, I phone 3 dealership and none of them can be 100% confident with their answers. Those are the guys we are paying $150+ to fix our cars. sign!

Anyways ,here is question i posed to them and I hope someone on the board can provide me with an for sure answer. thanks for the help.

I have a 09 C2S, with standard carrera type 2 rim. i am looking for a winter/maybe track set up, so i thought of OEM 18" carrera rim due to my limited budget. Would they fit on my C2S?

my offset is 57/67
18" carrera 's offer is 57/60.

here is the rim i have


here is the rim i am interested in,


any thoughts?

 

Remember that technicians are expert diagnosers and part replacers, not engineers, I'm not surprised that they don't know wheel offset.

I would ask more importanyl if the 18's will clear the calipers, you can always use a 7mm spacer to make the offset right

 

well, that is another version of my question, but they wouldn't know.
with the 7mm spacer, will the rim clear brake?

 

Hi there, actually using a 7mm spacer in your case will not help it will make it more agressive. You should have no problems direct bolt-on. Factory 18" & 19" are found on your vehicle so you should be fine there too. If you are at all intereested in a Winter package Id be happy to assist, we offer complete packages and TPMS equipment in stock for all of you driving needs.

A package as seen below using Pirelli snow and TPMS equipment installed and shipped to your door can be had for around $3249

 

I am not too worry about the bolt pattern or offset, its the brake clearance I am worrying about.
