Some stunning cars gents. I have a GTS incoming. Has the turbo s centre locks Lowered factory SPASM. Looking to swap out the wheels to something with a better fitment/lower ET. Not looking to drop the car any lower at this stage. What do you suggest in terms of widths and fitment. I was thinking: front 20x 9 et 46rear 21x 12 et 64. Open to suggestions. Hoping for flush to arches but a little retracted so can still push the car hard on bumpy roads etc. Thanks.
Here is what I've concluded for the most flush application:
20x9 (et27)21x11.5 (et41)
Which I got from @tourenwagen who is running:
20x9 et 45 and 18mm spacer21x11.5 et 58 and 14mm spacer
And his looks perfect IMO:

not sure about other custom wheel manufacturers but HRE will likely not make anything for 992s with those offsets.
It depends on the wheel design itself. I was told by HRE for R101LW that it will not leave proper room for the calipers and add more weight to the lightweight wheels. I went with 48 and 60 offsets on 9.5 and 12 wide wheels. Fronts could have been a bit lower but Litespeed also did not want to chance it.
My S is not lowered at all, btw. The rears already have some poke, the fronts could have used a bit more poke.

Is it specific to your wheels and fitment that its an issue? Or DYK if it has anything to do with any structural/functional issues affecting the integrity of the setup? I'll dig around more as well.
