Back again....Gentlemen who was selling rims never got back to me with details. Found another possible deal.......19 inch Porsche wheels with Michelin ps2 tires in 235/35/19 and 295/30/19 with approx 9.5/32 tread all around.
The wheels are true 3 piece wheels made by Zone. Near MINT condition. TPMS is installed.

19x8.5 et 38 and 19x11 et 50. WILL THESE WORK ON A 2001 911 Carrera C2

They'll work. The rears will produce a slightly aggressive stance. Depending on your preference, this may be a good thing. My rears are currently at 19X10: 275/30/19; ET52. And, I prefer an aggressive stance.

Fitment wheels... Carrera C2 2001 narrow body

As previously posted I did purchase these rims with rear tires being 295x30x19.....(rims front 19x8.5 et 38 and rear 19x11 et 50.). Test drove them and found no rubbing clearance issues etc.) Took car for a 40 mile (80 mi round trip) next day and noticed that at speed when I hit a larger bump in road a banging sound coming from rear of car. Can it be that travel in suspension is causing tire/wheel to cause banging....No marks on tires, wheel well, fender around wheel well. Only occurred on same stretch of bumpy road 2-3 times....What may be problem?. Can I possibly increase ride height slightly in rear(1/2 to 1 inch)
If so, how.......BTW front has new bilstein HD struts and I have rears on order to replace original struts

rrrruben, what wheels do you have installed? That's the wheel design I've been looking for.
