You will not know until you have tire mounted and installed on car so as to check wheel well splash guard for rubs at full turn.

Thinking of adding US 030 suspension but concerned about lowering car more than OEM (both due to tire and garage slope entry), for your info, I am running 235/35 tires in front with 8.5/50 offset with no rubbing.

Just going through this myself, I do not believe you would want spacers at rear since the recommended offset for 19" is 67 and as I mentioned earlier I mounted 11" with 64 offset which sits just to inside of fender so your 56 offset will already be pushing the wheel out an additional 8 mm.

A stripe like the one you run right now might be too much on these beauties.

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.

Woohoo! They arrived! I went to pick them up today and took them right to my shop to get painted. I will post the final product after tires are mounted/balanced and everything is installed. I still feel like it needs a little red somewhere though. Maybe on the Porsche crest? What do you think?

After:
Wheels are Avant Garde Ruger Mesh 19x8.5 et45 and 19x11 et56 (looking at the wheel info online I think they are et52). The guy I bought them from had them on a NB and said they fit fine with 295/30's and 235/35's. Does this sound right? I need to buy tires soon and will most likely buy on line.
I would do a bit more research on the fit. I'm not saying they will not but I recently put on a (new to me) set of Kenises that were 19" with 64 offset and 295/30 tires. They fit with no rubbing but the outer edge of tire is close to fender edge (2004 C2 so have factory rolled fenders), see pic. Just would hate to have painting and mounting done on a wheel that will stick out 8 mm (5/16") more. Thinking of adding US 030 suspension but concerned about lowering car more than OEM (both due to tire and garage slope entry), for your info, I am running 235/35 tires in front with 8.5/50 offset with no rubbing.
HawkFan, I will be in Vagas the week of July 10 - 15, will be at the Clark County Shooting complex for the US Open Trap and Skeet championships (I coach) and would love to see your car if you get them mounted with your car being slightly lowered. As I mentioned, I am wanting to add a bit more suspension and looking at the 030 kit since I heard it only lowers car an inch at most.
Maybe just a little red, like this? I think the "rim" area of the new wheel is a lot skinnier than the one on the Carrera II's. A stripe like the one you run right now might be too much on these beauties.
from the guy I bought them from, "hi, yes! my narrow body 997 and your 996 have same wheel setup."
he sent me pictures as well so hopefully they fit without the Spacers as he stated.
Just going through this myself, I do not believe you would want spacers at rear since the recommended offset for 19" is 67 and as I mentioned earlier I mounted 11" with 64 offset which sits just to inside of fender so your 56 offset will already be pushing the wheel out an additional 8 mm.
For the front, the recommended offset for 19" / 8,5 is 55 mm. my set up had a 50 mm offset so yours having a 45 offset so again will project out an additional 5 mm than mine and 10 mm than recommended. You will not know until you have tire mounted and installed on car so as to check wheel well splash guard for rubs at full turn. Keep in mind that the 235/35/19 front tire is a bit bigger in dia than OEM (do a tire comparison on google).
Have you considered the Titanium lug nuts? Acer has them for $199 a set of 20 and they also make them in black. I got there set with the optional lock lugs and they worked and look great as well as saving approx .4 lbs per wheel on unsprung weight. In addition, it looks like they have now been approved for track use. Much better price than those $800+ sets you may of seen on other sites.
