Gen.1 997tt Wheels - wanted & advice of sizes please

[r1flyguy1]

Hi All

I'm currently looking to purchase a spare set of wheels for track days and would like some of your wealth of experience in regards to the 'correct' sizes to buy/fit

currently I have fitted the original (I think, 2nd owner you see) wheels which are according to the drivers manual

305/30/ZR19 Y102
11J x 19H 51mm

235/35/R19 Y 87
8.5J x 19H2 56mm

Now there are several sets of wheels available on fleabay, etc, but the front wheel offsets are different for example one set i am looking at the front wheels size is 8J 57.

Can you guys please tell me is it best just to buy like for like or will 1/2" width and a 1mm offset difference cause no issues

I thank you in anticipation

Gaz

Hi Nick,

I believe we spoke before about these & though I appreciate they are brand New, the price was a bit rich for me as they will be purely for track days so wanted to keep the budget down so I had more for tyres.

Are they exactly the same offset?

If you wish to PM me your current price, I'm happy to consider them as have the money waiting for the right pair.

Best wishes
