I am a brand new Porsche Owner so I am unsure of the fitment requirments. I have a 1999 996 C2 and the guy is "Unsure" if these will fit my car. The specs are as follows: Two 19x8.5" (with 45mm offset) and Two 19x10" (with 52mm offset) 5x130mm Lug Pattern.

Any input is greatly appreciated and if anyone knows the best springs or coilovers to use with 19inch wheels I would appreciate that information as well. Thanks guys

Sorry, that chart is wrong.

The offsets are all wrong - DO NOT use that chart.

For a MY1999 car Porsche approved wheels and offsets are spelled out in a TSB.

Front offset is 50 - 52 mm.

Rear offset is 63 - 65 mm.

No 19 inch wheels are approved by Porsche for use on any 996 series car.

Thanks for the help..So your telling me that I can not put 19's on this car at all?? WoW?!? Just ruined my day

You can put anything you want on your car - I am just saying what Porsche approves (and does not approve).

I has driving my porsche for 4 years with aftermarket wheels since I adquire the car. I just change them to 5 spoke turbo style last week and the drive is a lot way better with stock wheels. Best thing done in all this years.

its like having a pair 5mm/11mm spacers around.

I got a box of Eibch pro springs sitting in my garage.
