Yup, on GT3 rims and they fit great. 11x18 ET63

Edit: to add more detail, these are 996.2 GT3 rims (2002-2004 GT3) on a 2002 (996.2) Carerra 2. X74 suspension, GT3 control arms, no spacers. The rear rims/tires fit like they were made for this (the fronts, on the other hand, rub at full lock at this ride height - never an issue with the hollow turbo twists that I had on before. This is 7.5x18 ET50/225 width vs 8x18 ET50/235 width.).

63 eta on hollow spoke 11x18. The car has about 2.5* camber and a 1.5" drop. Tires are 295s and i did roll the fenders. Early cars may need this done because it wasnt done from the factory.

Running 295/30/18 Yokahama AD08r on TechArt formula (10.5J, ET60)
The wheels have pretty wide stance at the rear and the AD08r is a bit wider then most of the other 295 tyres.
Car is a 996.2 C2 and moderately lowered (0,70 inch). mk2 comes with rolled fenders from the factory

The Gen II Aero fits it perfectly.

I'm running 19x11 et56 on a 99' C2. 295/30's and its dropped on Eibach pro kit. it RUBBED.
Had to Roll Rear fenders as the mark 1's aren't rolled from the factory.
After rolling the rears it fits perfectly. Mark 2's are different.

Not sure yet. Just picked the car up Saturday and drove it home. Will review wheel offset and advise. Do not have info on suspension setup but it appears to be lower that stock.
