If I give them away to a shop to change ET, propably best is to polish the hub down, which of those et would be best for the job?

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.

Okey its another ET freaking thread and yes I need to ask this =)
Anyways I found wheels Ive been looking for for a while now but the size and ET are these and Im not sure eather of this et will fit my 996 c2 NB ?
8.5X19" ET53
10X19" ET26
11X19" ET38.5
12X19" ET51
I think this would fit in the front 8.5X19" ET53, but which one would fit in the rear?
Regards // Norb
Norb,
You are still trying to fit a round peg into a square hole, by taking a compromised size and trying to make it fit. (in my opinion)
All of those rears look bad IMHO.
You have the Porsche offsets, right? You have the offset calculator right?
http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp
Not even this, not even on the mm?
If I give them away to a shop to change ET, propably best is to polish the hub down, which of those et would be best for the job?
I do not understand why not take an experts advise right to the bank
Why not take advantage/use all the tools available to you
Knowledge is everything, I'd lean heavy on it here to avoid issues or wasted money.
It's not just about taste or looks right?
Norb, just stop........
Grinding away the hub is not a solution (at least not one that I would ever consider). What happens if the wheel fails at speed????
My advice, quit goofing around with compromised wheels and get good wheels that fit. There are tons of quality wheels available with correct offsets.
What is it about these wheels that make you want to push the limits? I think you need to post up some pics as these bad boys must be really special.
Finally when I find the wheels I wanted for a year the damn ET doesnt match up, this is not cool! Im going to the garage to check what ET my 19" have they are on the spot.
Palting: Yeah Iam like a four year old, never grew up is my moto =)
If anyone have any good info on my question, post it, dont be afraid of those guys above =) Muhaha....

Talk to Alan Baylis. Spend the Kronas to make that phone call. It'll save you money, heartache, and get you a big smile when you get wheels that not only look good to you, but fit great.
I don't know how much more anyone else can add here. It's absolutely befuddling to me how you can't seem to take advice - good advice.
I don't mean to be harsh, but the second post in this thread included this link:
http://www.1010tires.com/WheelOffsetCalculator.asp
Click on that link, look at the picture, and then come back and tell us the answer to your question.
Nooooo way that sounds tricky
I think Im going to try to order them and see what happends, worst case scenario will be to sell them.
I think I try this...
Front 8.5X19" ET53
Rear 10X19" ET26
Noby,
Sorry I thought you had the O.E. offsets. Here is what you need to know.
8.5X19" ET53 Inner Clearance: 9mm less, Outer Clearance: 3mm more
These should fit IMO
10X19" ET26 Inner Clearance: 39mm MORE, Outer Clearance: 39mm MORE
No friken way
11X19" ET38.5Inner Clearance: 14mm MORE, Outer Clearance: 40 mm MORE
No friken way
12X19" ET51Inner Clearance: 11mm Less, Outer Clearance: 39 mm MORE
No firken way
Just my opinion. Now I did you a favor, Please post some pics!!!!
Standard fitment on 996 C2 Narrow Body: 8 x 18 ET 50 or 52 fronts; 10x18 ET 65 rear.
If you go up to 19" wheels, the offset would remain the same (50 up front and 65 in the rear).
Okey boyz today I looked up what my rear ones have and took a picture, what you guys think now?!
So what you guys think, it could work with this ones 12X19" ET51? hmm... Its a risk they touch the coilovers I guess?
10x19" ET45
I'm not sure what the question is? 10 x 19 ET 45 will give you Inner Clearance: 20mm MORE, Outer Clearance: 20mm MORE
Now you think because that works that (12X19" ET51Inner Clearance: 11mm Less, Outer Clearance: 39 mm MORE) will work???
I don't see it happening.
Noby, that is the last bit of "help" I'll give you until you post some pics or tell us the Brand and Model wheel you are looking at.
Standard fitment on 996 C2 Narrow Body: 8 x 18 ET 50 fronts; 10x18 ET 65 rear.
Noby, I have been more than kind. Please provide the brand and style of the wheels you are looking at......
Then I dont know how you did your calculation on that site.
Because if I put in
Current Wheel Specs 18" and ET65
New Wheel Specs 19" and ET45
I get
Inner Clearance: 7mm
Outer Clearance: EXTEND an extra 33mm
And you got
Inner Clearance: 20mm MORE
Outer Clearance: 20mm MORE
Can u explain it?
Ohhhhhh, now I see your problem......
Are these the Wheels you are looking at?????????

If you confirm, I will tell you where you are going wrong......
Quid pro quo
my friend
OMG you are so happy you found the wheels you think are those... lets say it is and tell me what Im going wrong as they have the same ET as it looks.
But I dont understand why it matters what wheels it is as long as we have the size and ET.
Ok, you are entering the wheel diameter in the calculator. You need to be entering the wheel width.
i.e. enter it as follows
Current Wheel Specs 10" and ET65
New Wheel Specs 10" and ET45
Got it??
These are similar in look (but 18's not 19's) and will fit in the 8.5 and 11" sizes

Forgive the 4x4 ride height, it is not my car

this thread hurts my brain.
However, it is fun to watch you guys try talk some offset sense into Noby, but me thinks he made up his mind to buy the wrong sized rims before starting the thread.
Noby, I say Rock on
and post pics in a month or so when they make it to the continent and you work out your spacers.
Ray, bless you for trying to help him. I have gone through this twice and gave up! I also noticed he was using the wheel diameter instead of the wheel width in the calculator.
[QUOTE=NOBY;5348516]Spacers for a too low ET, you need to learn some.

Funny hearing "you need to learn"...coming from you.
You need to learn about ET first, then come back and tell others to learn.
[QUOTE=NOBY;5348647]
Ways to fix wheel with too low ET:
1. buy new wheels
2. lift your car and let the wheels stick out
3. buy super narrow tires and let it stretch (euro style seen on vw's)
4. get fender flares
these are very simple solutions for a very simple problem.
This has got to be one of the funniest threads I've followed in a while. It's like watching a train heading down towards a ravine. Everyone else is yelling "STOP!!!!", but the train thunders on.
Ray, you must have a halo around your head, man. Infinite patience, that's what you've got.
Yeah my wheels fits too, whats the problem?
Anyways went for the first year 2008 spin today with the porsche, lovely car, now hope my pallet arrives safe so I can mount the stuff on it
Well I did not say which wheels, point of this thread is to learn some info, a weeek ago everyone said ET45 on 10" would never work but my car has it and it works so we can call this a contribution thread, I bet there always info that gives one some knowledge. Its just funny to see how some gets up in the mood
Anyways I emailed the company that sold those wheels with that ET, they will have a talk the factory, maybe the factory will make them in the right ET soon.
PEACE
