Carrera 2 17" wheels on 968?
#1

Fronts are 7" with 55 offset, rears are 8.5" 50 offset.

Would there be any fitment problem with these? I would be mounting 235/45 and 255/40 tires. These wheels spec. as one of the lightest 17" Porsche has made. Much lighter than the OEM 17" wheel offered on the 968. I would not think the .5" smaller diameter and different offsets to be that significant, but maybe they are.

Thanks!!

Fit should not be a problem at all.

You should have no fitment problems at all. The 255/40/17's on the back give the 968 a whole new look! I'm now running this size on my car but a little wider on the front. I've been very pleased with the handling and the car looks wider and meaner!!

Good luck!

These are indeed quite light for OEM wheels. I have compared them to the Fikse's and the difference was not that great IIRC.
