GT4 Wheels on a 981 Spyder... Fitment ok?

Can't wait to see the results. GT4 wheels do look very nice. I think the offsets should be fine.
What tyre size will you go up to? Stock GT4 or something in between. I was thinking 245/35 F, 285/30 rear.

The eagles have landed. Lug bolt torque spec?
And what do you guys think about the various center cap options for my car?

Done. Fit is perfect. No issues. No rubbing. Stance looks great. TPMS functions perfectly. Cup 2's ride like a dream compared to the PZero's that were on there.
Love it. These should have been the Spyder wheels from the get go. The spoke pattern looks very similar to the Spyder logo of the snow apparel company and reminds me of a spider's web.
I'll get some better pics later. These don't really do the setup justice.
Now I just need to replace the center caps.
Before mounting the new wheels I took a wire brush to the three fins of the axle flange/hub surface (rusty and made it necessary to use more wiggling and force than I usually prefer when removing wheels) and applied a very thin layer of Permatex anti-seize to keep the rust away for the next time.
Last but not least I need to send a shout out to Rennlist forum member benben01 who sold me his set of wheels and tires. Stand up guy, great communication and a pleasure to do business with. Wish all online transactions were as smooth and friendly. Usually not. He packed these things up like he was shipping me the Mona Lisa and they arrived without damage, ready to be bolted on. Sinister Spyder.
