haha, 4mm narrower is hardly sunken. but I agree that widening would be better.

Yes, the front wheels are .15 inch “sunken” in. I compared the GTS stock and GT3 and it’s not noticeable. If you can notice .15 inch, you have a better eye than me. The stock GTS wheels on the front already look like they could use a little less offset though. That said, I consulted Elephant Racing and was planning to go with adjustable LCAs ($1200) but they recommended going with their Eccentric solid bushings instead as they were a cheaper solution ($390) and to adjust the factory Eccentric camber plates at the top of the strut, and boom, picked up a .5 inch increase in front track, more than negating the offset penalty going from GTS to GT3 wheels. And I went from MPS4S to MPSC2.

Very well done. Best setup so far with GT3 wheels on GTS.

To OP, are these your wheel offsets? I am considering this winter wheel set for a 19 4 GTS.

Yes, those are the GT3 wheel offsets but I wouldn’t recommend going with a 315 rear tire as it will poke. A 305 is the max width I’d recommend on a GTS. For rear tires, probably best to go with a 295 rear tire.

Did you do anything to adjust rears? They look pretty flush. Do they come out further than fender? Would you recommend that rear offset of 47?

wouldn't a spacer up front fix that? ��

You can't use a spacer on a CL wheel.

I have the full elephant racing adjustable arms. But what I want to know is, can I fit GT3-RS wheels. 9.5 x 20 and 12.5 x 21 ?

The widths of the GT3RS wheels isn't the problem it is the offsets that are the problem. We can and have fitted 991 GTS' with 9.5" fronts and 12.5" rears however it was with offsets that pushed the wheels outward more which allowed for the inner clearance to be perfect. Since the GT3RS wheels have weaker offsets (wheels tucked in more) the inners will rub.
