Suggestion

If the offsets are 57F, 67R, then you can go with 13-15mm front spacers, and 5-9mm rear, I use 13F/7R with no issues.

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.

18 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

0 evidence records excluded for query context · 0 excluded by outcome qualification · 0 adjusted by outcome qualification.

0 acknowledgements have no verified action link; they do not establish a repair result.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just got the summers on for cruising and enjoying the sun! This is what the "Lobster Claws" look like on my old 996 Hankook Ventus V12 Front: 235/35ZR19 Rear: 295/30ZR19 No spacers.... Yet A Big Thanks to Ed AKA: 2K996MIA for your help!! Jeff

Looks sharp, the mod bug will take over anytime now( FisterD's, exh tips, painted bumperettes, smoked LED tails, window tint ( look better on coupes)); methinks you need a matching silver hood crest. If the offsets are 57F, 67R, then you can go with 13-15mm front spacers, and 5-9mm rear, I use 13F/7R with no issues.

POST 6Original post

Looks great! It would look even better an inch lower in the rear and two and a half up front.

POST 7Original post

I almost confused it with a 997. What a big difference the wheels make...Especially when you're used to seeing them on another vehicle.

POST 8 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

There's no rubbing with this tire size. I'm not sure what other sizes would fit but these do the trick.

POST 9Original post

here is a set with tires... he says he wants $750 http://seattle.craigslist.org/see/pts/2319710833.html

Would those C4S wheels fit a NB? I need a set of winter tires...

POST 11Original post

I am surprised you have no rubbing, are you sure the tires dont' rub the fender liner when you trun the wheels left or right to their full lock position ?

POST 12 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I just went out and inspected the tires turning hard right and left and no rubbing. There's only about 8mmm of space or so, enough to see, but not enough to fit my fingers between. With this setup you can expect no rubbing, also my car is not lowered.

POST 13Original post

no idea, he didnt post offset/widths most likely not but IDK

POST 14Original post

They do look modern! What's the ride like with such low profile tires?

POST 15 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Front Wheel:Size: 8.0Jx 19 Offset: 57 Front Tire Size: 235/35/19 Rear Wheel: Size: 11Jx 19 Offset: 67 Rear Tire Size : 295/30/19 The ride is fine... how do you answer that lol. If anyones in the area and would like to drive it your more than welcome. I know Jasper has had a drive of it. I had the winters on before so coming from that these summers are great. It's possible that if I could really drive this car on a track I may not like straying from the 18's... but for me using the car as a DD and mucking about it's great! We'll see how the summer goes and if I ever get to a track

POST 16Original post

I meant is the ride harsher over bumps with 19"s compared to 18"s?

POST 17 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I found driving a lowered 996 on 18's more harsh than on 19" stock height. Much more harsh...

POST 18Original post

If I didn't love my 18" Twists, I would step up to modern 19" wheels!
