Can I fit these wheels on my 10 GT3. Standard brakes.

I want to put a Hoosier A6 255 or 285 up front and 335 18 in rear.

For autox so if they might stick out not the end of the world, also the height would be like .3" less than stock so I think little chance of rubbing with like -2.5 deg camber all around.

Where do you ship from ?

Yes we offer the wheels in both GT3 and GT3 RS offsets, for our USA clients we ship from New York and for our Canadian clients we ship from Ontario, Canada.

I have to say these are some great wheels guys. Nurburgring stress tested. clears brakes no problem up front. you can place a thumb in between the caliper and wheel. I get several compliments and questions about them. John, I think you would have a strong market over here.

The customer for those wheels is in the snowy land of Canada and freezing temperatures. He isnt putting them on the car (let alone exposing the slicks to cold weather) untill March.
