Does the rim protrude out past the fender?

it doesn't protrude but keep in mind i'm running negative camber in the back so they fit better. It is definitely more for looks than practicality

With 19's in the front, I can't turn my front wheels all the way to the end. As for the rears, so far they don't rub and I do have my PSS9 set to 3 (stiffer).

Bro those look sweet. I love the Techart Formulas on the 996s and 997s. Could be my favorite wheel. Good luck with it

My rear tires rub when going over small dips. Where in OC Ca can I have my fenders rolled. Does it do anything to your paint?
I have 19" HRE's, came with car so I don't know the spec's.

very nice- what are the wheel offsets on the rears?

The 25 tire profile will also get you back to "+1" sizing and about a 1% deviation in overall diameter compared to your 18's with 285/30. 315/25 would be sick!

With the 30 profile you have a better than 4% diameter increase, and I think you end up increasing your gear ratio / losing a tad bit of perkiness off the line.

there's some misinformation flying about that i want to clear up

-some 19" wheels fit perfectly without any restrictions to the driveability of the car just as if it were riding on stock wheels, stock suspension

-it just happens that these set of wheels with widths/offsets selected by techart are a wee bit aggressive thus requiring the rolling of fenders, turning restrictions (surprised at this one), not able to put on proper diameter tires to avoid further rubbage, etc.

the techart formulas in black with silver lined lip is my favorite non lipped wheel for the 911 and you can see why in the pics above; however, i am disappointed at the widths/offsets techart selected as it requires modification even for widebody fitment.

that's just not cool because you if champion can do it with their say.. RG5s, surely techart can do the same.

p.s. i can never get tired of seeing pics of 911s in sunny LA (palm trees)

^ good point Ben- You got 19x12's under the **** of your car with no fender rolling or aggressive camber needed, correct?

Fyi, Techart recommends 315/25/19 rear tires on its webiste.
On the narrow body C2???
