I am running 19X10 ET50 at the rear on a MK1 with a ROW M030 suspension. They do come out about 1/2" over stock. But, I love the aggressive appearance. It actually makes the rear appear wider. 11"?? I believe that would be pushing the envelope in terms of appearance. Though I do not believe there would be a rub or fender roll issue.

I am running BBS LM's 56 offset on standard suspension. No problems at all, corners flatter and harder than standard 10" wheels. 56 offset will be really close and if you have lowered your car you will probably have to roll fender lip.Check my garage for before and after shots.

Lowered on Bilstein PSS9 coilovers and rolled fenders. Factory camber settings. So far I've run the following on my 99 C2 with zero fitment issues.

TechArt Formula 19x11 +51 with 295/30/19 PS2 tires
Work VS-XX 19x10 +39 with 295/30/19 Toyo T1R tires
HRE 560R 19x11 +52 with 295/30/19 Hankook V12 tires

Thanks for the response guys.

So I take it I should have no issue running a 50 offset as long as I roll the fenders.

For the people running 52, 51 offsets how much clearance do you have from tire wall to fender?

Have these setup been on the track?

All Narrow Body 996 from 1997 to 2004 are the same. The GT3 Wheel fits them all!

I should have clarified that 11 et 51 fits stock mk2 but does not fit stock mk1. As discussed in the post above, it can be made to fit mk1 with aggressive camber and rolling the fender.

Besides rolling the fender, you may have to run a high negative camber and / or a skinny tire to get 11 et 50 to fit if you have a mk1.

GT3 wheels are et 63 and yes can fit mk1 and mk2.

The rear suspension changed between mk1 and mk2 allowing approx 5 mm wider offset in mk2 cars
