Several guys here on the board run those wheels on their cars (both track and street).
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.

The offset is +47 front and +62 rear. i heard somewhere that i might need to roll the fenders.
O and by the way i have a 2000 porsche carrera I got it last sunday
That link doesn't work. No need to roll the fenders. If those offsets you are showing are for the basic 8x18 and 10x18 setup then the offsets are fine and will look like you have a 3mm spacer on since the basic offset for those wheel sizes are 50 and 65 respectively.
there 19X8.5 front and 19X10 rear and thanks for the speed reply and ill try to get the link working. The rims are ssr gt10. they look really nice but weigh 27 pounds. Will the car be a lot slower or will it be just minimal because of the weight of the rims. Im also looking at the BBS rs-gt. there smaller but they also look really good. if anyone has any tips on any other rims please tell me the company or where i can find them. Thanks in advance
Does this link work?
Link still no good. But, I would definitely get 18's not 19's if you are concerned with weight/speed, etc. The BBS RS-GT is a sweet rim and would be my choice if I already didn't have 2 sets of wheels for my car. Several guys here on the board run those wheels on their cars (both track and street). Very light!
The issue of 19 vs 18 is a matter of what is important to you. If you track the car 18 are probable a better choice as they are slightly lighter, have more DOT race tires availiable and they are not as suspectable to wheel damage as 19" are. 27lbs is heavier than a standard wheel, but remeber that the OE non hollow spoke turbo twist wheels were about 25lbs so the differences is not that noticable as far as slowing the car down. The main reason for going to 19" is for looks, there is no handling benifits, and the overall comfort is lost. I like 19" for looks, but I can't recomend them as advantageous to the 18".
19 only look good from a distance.
when you get close you will see that relative to the rims, your brake caliber and rotors are way too small. jsut my 2 cents. of course you can opt for the giant stop tech, brembo gtr or the like. then you will be hot.
where about in monterey park are you? i grew up in arcadia.
i think you will get even more understeer with a 295/315 tire on the rear unless the front width is addressed as well. it's a lot of tire for an n/a 996.
On my Boxster I use F8.5 x 18 ET 46 / R10.0 x 18 ET 40 on the street and F8.0 x 18 ET50 / R9.5 x 18 ET 48 on the track (no rubbing issues)
My 996 wheels are still stock (F 8.0 x 18 ET 50 / R 10.0 x 18 ET 48), but I have been told you can fit 11.0's on the rear if a narow body with the proper offsets.

Good luck!
boxsters have a 50mm offset for the rears and 996s have 65mm offset, both 18x10". i think the stock offset on the 996 should have been 50mm all along. my champions are ET58 and fill out the wells. actually i am looking to add a 17mm spacer to give me ET41, i have aggressive alignment and rolled fenders
