Are 11" too big for the rears on an '01 986? Like these wheels but think they are too big.

yes there's not a snowball's chance that they will fit

In a word "Yes"

Ahhhhh .... it's the never ending 11 inch wheel question again !

Thanks for the heads up. I really like the wheels but was skeptical about fitting. Glad I did not purchase. So a good fit is 9 in the front and 10's in the back ??

they will stick out.

11s fit fine as long as you are willing to cut out your fenders. Otherwise forgetaboutit.

Remember wheels are always a tradeoff between show and go. The bigger (heavier) the wheels, the slower the sports car. A nice set of aftermarket 10x19" wheels will make a 3.2 Box S feel like a 2.5 Base Box.
