Default Favor! From anyone with 8" & 10" Carrera IIIs on their 928

I had difficulty fitting my car on my trailer for my last DE. I was trying to go straight on with my 19s still on the car, which have a 54mm front offset, and are 8.5" wide. The rears, like my CIIIs, are 10" wide, have a 42mm offset.

The CIIIs, at 8" up front, have a 57mm offset (tucked in 3mm over the 19s), and the rears, at 10", have a 58mm offset (tucked in 16mm more than the 19s; but we never got that far).

Favor: can someone with these please measure their wheel track, from the outsides of each pair of wheels? I'd throw the wheels on the car and do it myself but the car is here in Baltimore and the wheels are in another part of the state at the moment; with snow and ice on the ground everywhere, driving the 928 to the wheels would be next to impossible. Thanks in advance!

Have Carrera IIIs on my GTS, and do have the rear GTS spacers on.

Front Track...71" Rear Track...75"

Thanks! How large are the GTS spacers? Pretty large IIRC.

FYI: the GTS spacers are 38mm, but ultimately that doesn't matter to me. I have a set of stock dishes/manholes I can throw on the rear for trailering purposes. The 71" front track will be tight, but I can make it work. I have 72.5" to work with. I can't put dishes on the front because of my GTS brakes.

GPW, thanks! I believe it should be the same wheel track for all 928s, minus the GTS spacers. Always curious for data points though!

Awesome, thanks. That's about what I figured when subtracting the GTS spacers.
