Would 19"x8.5" Offset 50 (Front) & 19"x11" Offset 45 (Rear)

I am interested in buying some Rial Daytona Wheels. The wheels are 19"x8.5" Offset 50 (Front) & 19"x11" Offset 45 (Rear), would they fit a cayman with lowered suspension.



There is a pic of the wheel.

YES they will work with an 8mm spacer in the rear. They will not work with OEM suspension. You will need a coilover setup for added clearance.

They will NOT fit as they are with out the spacer in the rear.

The fronts will fit fine with no spacers.

Why would the rear not fit? The stated offset for rear for Cayman S is about 45mm.

Trust me they will not fit. I have 19X11's with 44mm and had to ad a 6mm spcer in order to fit. 45mm ofset works fine with 10's, but once you increase to 11's, you need additional spacing to not hit the shock. I have mine lowered with H&R springs.

I am now an expert at this. (thanks to BBS) the cayman needs a rear offset of 40mm on a 11" wide wheel. The offset on mine is 40mm 19x11 BBS lmr. I have techart race springs 295 30zr19 Michelin ps2. Contact Stephen@gmpperformance.com they make the spacers and bolts needed in your case you need a 5mm spacer. Hope this helps- coming from someone who went through this.

I went through several rear wheel set-ups before having to settle on a pad height of 6 on the rear wheels and an 11 on the front. I am not sure where this leaves the offset at but the front wheels on my car are 19x8.5 and the rear wheels are 19x10.5. The rear wheels on mine have a 3.5" outer barrel and a 7" inner barrel which gave me a 3" lip. We tried several set-ups to try to get an 11" rear without having to use spacers and having the wheel sit outside of the fender and had no luck... close but it just did not look correct.

I am lowering with H&R springs and my suspension/wheel dealer does not see any issues with this...

I went with Nitto INVO tires with the rear being the 305 and it sits on the wheel perfect... The rear wheel has no clearance issues and sits flush with the fender.
