New Shoes!!

Just got some new rims installed:
AG Ruger Mesh with Michelin Pilot Super Sports
Front: 245/35/19 on 19x8.5 rim 45 offset
Rears: 305/30/19 on 19x11 rim with 52 offset.


The lower part of the inner wheel well needed a minor trimming in the rear, I might go with a 10-15mm spacer in future and roll fenders but for now I'm happy with the look.
Thanks to Yurii at PolorPorsche for mounting and fitting the tires and rims for me.

Those look like the rims on my 01 I just picked up. I will post mine as well. Would love to know if they are the same.

I'm in the north in Bergen County. I'm in Parsippany several times a month. I'll let you know next time I'm in the area.

I think so. I need to do a bit more research. What did you use for lugs? The previous owner used the OEM lugs and they are really too big for the opening in the wheel. I need new proper sized lugs.

the OEM lugs will not fit in mine, I needed these lugs:

If you can fit the OEM lugs on yours then they probably are not Avant Gardes, the stock lugs won't make it in the holes on them.

The lugs barely fit the opening but chew the inner wheel finish trying to get them on/off. Porsche was able to get them without much damage but they are not the right lugs.
