Default 991.2 GTS with GT3 Wheels

In case anyone was wondering, yes, the 991.1 and 991.2 GT3 wheels do fit on the 991.2 GTS. 2019 Carrera GTS with SPASM, PDCC and RWS.

What Is the weight saving of GT3 wheels vesrus OEM GTS wheels therefore someone should consider?

There are so many aftermarket wheels with great design and savings in weight versus the standard OEM GTS wheels such as HRE R101 LW or BBS FI-R.

There are no weight savings to be had. The offsets are also not GTS friendly.

I'm running the HRE R101 LW. Excellent wheels. Can't notice a difference in acceleration but the car brakes and turns better too.

Hope you can send me a private message about your specs, color and if you confirm that HRE wheels are around 3Kg less than OEM standard GTS centerlock wheels. Also your offset decision. Thank you in advance.

Anyone know if you can go the other way and use 991.2 GTS wheels on a 991.2 GT3 Touring for winter wheels? Front offset is 51mm so I think that should be fine, but the rear GTS wheels have an offset of 63mm vs the GT3's 47mm. Think that's going to move the wheel 5/8 in. closer to the suspension and not sure how much clearance there is back there.

I plan on ordering wheels as my car gets closer to landing, here is a rendering of what I am shooting for.

I have been running Signature SV104's and love them. This was with a 9.5 +55 and 11.5 +48, the weights I believe were 22# for the fronts and 24# for the rears.

Yes, the Turbot wheels fit with no issues, verified, and I am pretty sure the wider GTS will also work. I have run all combinations on the Turbo and some of them on my GT3.

Just to confirm, are you running those SV104's on a 991.2 GTS? And with rear-axle steering? Are they CL's or 5-lugs? Also, what size and brand tires are you running on those wheels?

I'm asking because I have a 991.2 GTS with the 5-lug wheels (8.5/11.5). I'm working out the specs for some aftermarket wheels. I'm definitely going wider than the 8.5 and 11.5 wheels, but figured I'd probably stick to 9 and 12. If 9.5 and 12.5 work without poking out or rubbing, I might do that, depending on how much the offsets, scrub radius, and package overall diameters are affected.

Thanks.

Sorry, I fat fingered that one the rears are 11.5" not 12.5".

According to tire rack you can fit a 20 x 9 +51 and 20 x 11.5 +52 no problem.

What does not friendly mean? They are not the same, but not friendly implies there is some issue doing this. Does it rub, scrap, affect handling, etc? Because looks-wise, it looks nice and flush in the pictures.

The fronts are sunken battleships on a GTS.. Look at the picture above. Your track up front is now slightly more narrow. I personally wouldn't want to sink in the front wheels more than they are. Widening is OK.
