Wheel fitment ?

[jacabean]

19" techart formula clone wheels . 8.5" et 45 front 10" et 60 rear . what size spacers are needed and would there be any problem with these size wheels on an 03S ? I am having a hard time finding 18" wheels that i like.

Stock offset on the 10" rear is 47, not sure 60's would work without a 15mm spacer. There is very little room between the tire edge and strut.
Fronts would probably work, stock is 8" and 50 et.

How about this wheel? It's 27 lbs but it fits.

The fronts are fine, but you'll need to bring the rear offset down to around +45 to start .

do you think there will be any issues with the 15 mm spacer ? i am not a big fan of 19" wheels on a 986 but i really like the techart look . they look very similar to formulas with a little sharper edge.

As far as fitment is concerned, no problems using a 15 mm spacer at all . In fact, +40-45 is a very desirable offset in the rear for a 986 .

I ordered these Techart clone wheels from Design 911 UK I hope they are half decent. I already got a pair of 15mm spacers on the rear of the car so that part is good.
I am not sure what size tires to get . My car is not lowered yet. I would like to fit tires that are going to give the most comfort with out looking odd or having issues. The roads here are like a third world country.
