Anyone have the 19" OZ Ultraleggeras on a narrow body Pcar? Perhaps a pic to share? I see a variety of pics from the usual Google search, but there is no detail on offsets from the random Google pics I find. I'm wondering if the offsets suggested by TireRack (55 front, 65 rear) will fit my 997.1 C2S well. I'd like to avoid spacers if I can, so hoping the above offsets will look nice.

They're nice wheels for the $$. Big improvement in offsets for sure. No spacers in this example. 8.5's and 12's. This is on the tail of the dragon. I've since had the wheels powder coated darker gloss grey. Narrow body GT3 offsets will fit just fine. My street (OZ) and track (CCW) wheels are both GT3 fitment

Those look great! I didn't know 12s would fit in the back. I don't know what the NB GT3 offsets are, do you have that detail? And I'd love to know the tire sizes you're using.

12's fit just fine. Same front offset, 19x8.5 et53, rears are 19x12 et65
235/35 front, 305/30 rears. No issues whatsoever or mods required, plug and play.

Do you notice any handling differences with your current set up vs stock? What suspension are you running?

If you set your "car" on Tire Rack as the GT3, and select those Ultraleggeras, they will fit your narrow body car perfectly.

Alternatively you can do the math yourself.

Find out what your stock wheels diameter and offsets are, measure the amount of gap you have from wheel to fender, that's the amount of offset you have to play with (factoring in different widths . . . . )

1010tires offset calculator can help you out with this.

Great picture!

Excellent advice! That's exactly what I did after Provoste's input. I believe I've found the set up that will work great for my C2S now.

No you really can't tell much difference on the street, the previous owner had bought the OZ's for track use, but I liked how they looked so much I decided to refinish them to use on the street. Plus, I wanted to run 18's on track. I can definitely tell you that the GT3 widths and offsets make a big difference on track though. My CCW's are 18 x 9's & 12's with 245/40, 305/35 NT01's.

I'm running stock PASM with H&R springs, GT3 adjustable roll bars on Tarret drop links, OEM GT3 lower control arms, and Tarret monoball rear toe links. Alignment is: -2.9 front camber 0 total front toe, -2.1 rear camber .4mm total rear toe in.

based on that picture above I think I need a 997 and a new pair of pants.

That's a disturbing image!!!

Honestly to me it seems like the rears could use another 5-10mm of offset - but that's just re: looks.

Those look great! What tires are you using if you don't mind me asking?

provoste

Agreed, that's why now I'm running 14mm spacers on the rear! I just didn't have any good pics and the winter wheels on the car now!

Hankook EVO2's on the street. Nitto NT01's on track. Sottozero's in the winter.
