GTS: 8.5Jx20 ET49 / 11.5Jx20 ET56 - 245/35R20 91ZR / 305/30R20 103ZR
Are you sure on those offsets? Suncoast shows 51 and 52 for front and rear respectively for the center lock GTS wheels:

http://www.suncoastparts.com/product...1GTSBWWP2.html

Based on my calcs, and the suncoast offsets, the GT3 RS wheel will poke 11.7mm further out than the stock center lockers on the GTS, and 8.7mm on the rear.

I don't have a GTS, so I can't look -- is that front poke within the range of acceptable? Rear is prob fine.

I also like a hella-flush fitment, so if there's room, I think it would look amazing.

Brief explanation of my calcs -- a 1" wider wheel (both front and rear) is 12.7mm further out with same offsets (1/2 of 1"). Since the offset of the GT3RS fronts is 50 vs GTS 49, you subtract 1mm from that difference. For the rears, similarly, you subtract 4mm.

BTW - front tire is only 0.5" higher than stock in diameter -- non issue.

You could get around $3500 for yours and then I would buy a set of HREs. Much better wheel than those RS.

I bought a set of P101s for my M4. They were nice but pricey. Way more than $3500 by almost 3x.

HRE Classic 300 or Brixton Forged HS1 would be my choices. They run 2-3x of $3,500. LOL

another good point. Do you think the powder coating would make a difference?

Sucks - was looking forward to pictures after you had em powder coated red and installed.

Seems a brand new set is only 1200 more; not 14k like they showed on the take-offs listing.

To me these are the best looking wheels on a 991 by far. I'd jump all over it vs HRE etc.

How much room do you have in front with the stock center locks? Can they come out 11.7mm without protruding?

I'm convinced that my thread was probably a final factor in the purchaser's decision. Oh well.

Seems it should work fine -- and I can't think of a better way to tell..

Is the rear similar?

So stock the fronts are around 22mm from flush and rears are around 11mm.

GTSRS wheels would result with 10mm in at front and 2.3mm in at rear. I think it would look fantastic. You would probably need some 3M clear shield on the fenders, but chances are the look would be amazing.

Fronts would still be further in than the rears, as Porsche shipped them from the factory anyway.
