My 10/13 offsets are 38/46 but keep in mind that is on a wide body 996 with Cup/RSR suspension components. Those offsets will obviously not translate to a regular 7GT3, probably closer to RS offsets. There is simply no way to fit a 13 on a narrow body 7 unfortunately. The interference will be between the inner wheel barrel and the thrust arm. It may not be apparent on the lift but will make contact under compression. The results will not be pretty... I sent you a PM with more details..
With a 10" front and 275s, you will also need to fit a steering angle limiter to prevent the wheel/tire from making contact with the upper coolant pipes and the brake ducting at large steering angles (full turn) on the inside of the wheel well. I fitted these on the steering rack shaft to limit the steering angle and keep this from happening. Even with a 275 on a 9.5, these are pretty much a must. I have these available if anyone would like a pair. To fit the 10s, I also moved my side radiators forward by 1/2" to create more room for the front tire.

Thank you good info, any idea how fender room compares on your 996 vs a NB 997.1 GT3? My top hats are already rotated and I'm about -3.3F -3.0R so if the cars have similar fender room I should be able to make it fit.
The only thing is my car already rubs in the front at full lock with 245/645/18 Pirelli DH's. Any idea how much Caster you're running?
