Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi guys. Just a quick question. I may be getting some 19" techart wheels that have come off a 4s. I am getting these wheels really cheap so wanted to know if they would go straight on or what modification would have to be done. If the wheels fit I will have a set of carrera 18" wheels with two brand new rears and 6 month old fronts for sale. Thanks.

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Has anyone done this? Would be grateful for any input. Thanks

POST 3Original post

I don't know the offsets but I suspect the Techart rear wheels outer face will be about 15mm further out than originals. Try this link with the dimensions. http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp

POST 4Original post

Which techart rims are they? Nothing wrong with them poking ut a bit further on the rear if you have the clearance!

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

These are the rims. They are coming off a 996 not 997 like the picture. I think they are formula 2s. not sure though. Will find out more today. I think they look awesome, but if they dont fit will have to give them a miss.

POST 6Original post

They'd look great on your car! They should also be relatively lightweight for 19s if genuine tech arts. Worst case scenario roll the arches if you love the rims? Are you on standard suspension?

POST 7 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

yes i quite like them!![ ] Standard suspension. i just wasa not sure if they would stick out or not.

POST 8Original post

if you're getting them at a great price they could be worth a punt regardless, you'd be able to pass them on without too many issues I'd expect.

POST 9Original post

As Geoff says - try the offset calculator. The narrow and widebody cars have completely different offsets on the rear.

POST 10 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Richard, Thanks, Would you happen to know what the offsets are?

POST 11Original post

You havn't specified the rim width for the Techart. From memory!!! the standard 18" 996 wheel was 10" ET65 The Techart 19" rims are probably ET52 So assuming the Techarts 19" are same 10" width then outset of rim would be +13mm If Techart 19" are say 10.5" then outset of rim would be +19mm (13+half the extra width) If Techart 19" are say 11" then outset of rim would be +25mm (13+half the extra width)

POST 12Original post

Wheel sizes and offsets (RO) are shown in the document in this post: http://www.porscheclubgbforum.com/fb.asp?m=623002 The C4S uses the same wheels as the Turbo. Rears are 11" wide, and ET45 offset. Narrow Body are 10" wide, and ET65 offset.

POST 13Original post

If the Techart are ET45 then add another 7mm to all values in my last post above!

POST 14Original post

What will you be doing with your 'old' alloys? [ ]

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hey Liam, Will be looking to get rid of them. They look similar to yours though! Are you interested? They only thing is that I have been away and am trying to arrange a time with owner of the techarts to try them on the car

POST 16Original post

Yes mate i could be, mine aren't the best in all honesty and could do with being totally refurbed. So i could probably so with another set, that way i can decide what to do.
