Default GT3 wheels on a 964 any1?
Just curious if any1 has seen gt3 wheels on a 964. I'm looking to get a 964 soon, and love the 2003+ gt3 wheels. Would love to know if they fit and info.
Thank you

I'm thinkin they are too large in diameter to start with. 18" are the biggest I'd try on a 964.

All 996 GT3 wheels are 18" diameter. The fronts are 8.5" with a 46 offset and the rears are 11" with a 62 offset.

the diameter is fine. it's the width that will give you problems; especially in the rear. (no pun intended)

anything more than 10" wheels in the rear doesn't really work from what i've learned.

Beautiful car! Are these Sport Design 18"s (ref. http://www.wheelenhancement.com/index.php?t=Wheels ?

Didn't this car have a track day crash? I hope everyone's OK.

Yep I had those wheels, they were coming from a 992 C2 (sport design wheels option):



And yes again, I had a crash on a french track with the car
