Very nicely done. To achieve a bit more lip, looks like you could of went another 5mm lower offset in the rear to fill out the fender. Overall looking good. Definitely need more pics!!!

I hate to agree with you but you’re spot on. I noticed it and so did my brother - 991.1 can accept more offset than a 991.2 which BCforged have me that offset to work off.

it’s so close though, I have let it go but at a few angles it does bother me. I could have gone larger diameter also which would have helped a little - having a style like mine, the wheel looks smaller compared to a full faced wheel.

Its going to stay at this point because it takes a long time to order custom and these are ceramic coated.

More pictures can be done:

If it really bugs you a lot in the rear fitment, you can always put a 5-10mm spacers to push the wheel out a tiny bit for better fitment and lower the rear a tad bit more.

Or the more expensive way would be just order a set of rear 21 size wheels and that would really fill those gaps nicely.

Personally I would of went 20 front and 21 in the rear since even the OEM comes in that now.

But that is just my opinion if this was my car. Overall it looks great...its just us that can see these little details lol!!! Enjoy your ride!!

Unfortunately these are Centerlock wheels so you cannot use a spacer.

I originally ordered 21inch wheels but choose to go with 20s to keep some level of performance and ride vs the larger diameter.

I am going to live with it as it’s fractional and when I need new tires consider a set of new wheels.

The rear bumper is my next challenge and gt3 rear exhaust - but I have also been toying with a new livery or color for the car.

Nice and can't wait to see your other mods. Definitely, you have one of the nicest 991 GTS out there!!!

Thank you!

She has been an adventure for sure and I am enjoying driving it.

Sad to think one day I will sell it but I have documented so much of my GtS’s transformation so I can look back years from now and remember it all.

If you sell it, what would be your next Porsche?

More to come but got the car corner balanced and set up better. Fixed the bouncing issue which was a culmination of adjusting the camber and geometry, adding new drop/toe links to unbind the sway bars and lower my tire pressure to 32/36.

I also redid the DSC installation from the start, including downloading the updated firmware and believe this was an issue I didn’t realize as the stock controller was put in during the suspension calibration and then the DSC installed. Made a huge difference for me!!

Finally had the body shop tweak my fitment problems in the front near my lights and redo my grills with new ones from customcargrills.com. These are way nicer and more heavy duty - the pos stock ones already had some rust issues where they cut them a touch. New ones are gloss black - powder coated and will last forever.

Last but not least - changed the front emblem with a new one from JJ Performance. I found one that matched my theme and gave me a more custom look.

Holly cow! Your car looks great.
If you added a big wing, no one would know your car isn't a GT3.

Love the setup.

Thanks bro! It’s been a ride.

So already sourced a rear bumper but need to figure out the exhaust. Truly want to stay with Soul as love the sound and quality - have to figure how I can do a center exit with my car.

Use the Soul GT3 exhaust and just make two custom pipes between muffler section and header flange

Yeah, ask Soul if they have anything they could do. They have the jigs for both your car and the GT3. They might be able to come up with something for you.
Give John a call at Soul.
