Also rears should be 9" as in normal summer setup. 8" rears are winter wheels which have different part number compared to summer 8" wheel. Probably due to different paint to provide better protection against salt. If your car truly has different front fenders we need to see exactly how they are different.

Yes you are correct about the wheel size. They are still different on the front and the rear. I noticed that after my original post but forgot to correct it. But Porsche says X38 cars

have wider front fenders and list the option as such so I would have to assume they are. Otherwise it would be false advertising and I don’t think Porsche would put their reputation on the line like that. There has to be a difference of some sort. Once the car arrives here from Germany I will thoroughly check it over to examine the difference. I will attach another picture of the car right now which I think demonstrates a slight difference versus a regular GTS. Subtle but different. Let me know your thoughts Vilhuer.
