Default BBS E88's on 991 GT3?!?!?!

My friend Ryan from 311RS has been working with BBS for the last 8 months and commissioned a 19"center lock E88 for 991 GT3 fitment in 9.5" (265 tire) and 12.5" widths (325 tire). The car in the photos is running Pilot Sport Cup 2's.

I stopped by his shop yesterday and they look as fantastic on the 991 GT3 as they have on all of our other Porsche's in the past. I couldn't wait to drop a couple teaser pics....Enjoy! (Mooty, I know you'll dig these.)

Those look great! Any rubbing issues? What were the offsets and wheel weights?

There is no rubbing with his suspension and alignment set up. I'll let him chime in with the rest as I don't know the offsets and weights.

Not feeling it. Classic BBS design but not for the modern GT3. And the stance? Just my 2 cents, no more...

Say what you want about the wheels as they are a personal preference. But STANCE? Looks like you're local to us in Mn. You should come out to BIR with us and see how much better this "stanced" GT3 handles than yours.

Love it!

I'd love to know more about the alignment as my new wheels are the same 19x9.5 and 19x12.5 with 265/325's.

The second picture speaks to me. I must, however, stop buying wheels!

It damn well better be faster than my car it's very close to a full race alignment. No offense intended. See you up north
