Well, my wife didn't get in till late last night....one of the drug reps took her entire practice out to dinner. **damn, I'm in the wrong line of work**

I'll get it done this evening when she arrives or tomorrow at the latest. Patience is a virtue

Dell - I can't believe that you get your wife to change your wheels for you

That's so cool!

Or is this just something that you guys do together...behind closed doors....nod's as good as a wink to a blind bat...know what I mean!

Yeah, we are a lot more "laid back" than those GT3 guys, and a hell of a lot more fun! I'll bet they (the GT3 guys) haven't gotten any "what in the Blue Hell" comments out of you yet!

Well, there you have it. redridge has given y'all the answer. I guess there is no need for me to take pics.

Just kidding.......



Anyway, here's the pics. Now, after I have had a chance to think about this BEFORE the wheel swap and taking of the pics I realized that when we say something fits or doesn't fit, what we really should be clarifying is does the wheel clear the brakes and suspension bits on the inside. As for the outside, well that is just personal preference. Am I right? So, while these GT3 wheels fit "fine" on a narrow body you have to determine if you like how far OUT they go.

Here's the pics...... (first 3 are the rear and the last 3 are the front)

FYI....I took the picutres as centered as possible so that there is no angle induced push in or out.

The suspension is the RoWM030 and the car is resting on the groud (that jack is flat). The tire sizes are the stock sizes (235/295) for those wheels (8.5/11).

Dell, you really need to finish you garage floor!


May I suggest red?




Your wife's car would tone nicely, and your speed yellow would 'pop' as the designers like to say

And while I'm posting... I have to say I'm a little dissapointed

I expected to see your Missus in action on the floor jack!

hehehe......I know, I know, one room of the house at a time. It isn't easy when you upgrade to a house almost double in square feet! Garage is soon though. I want the floors done and a lift installed.

My wife would have helped but she's is having a spa day. WAHOOOOO, house to myself all day!!!!!

Dell...does it look like these on your GT3 or is it less "pronounced" because of the GT3 suspension? Thanks for the pix... better than just stating it like I did.
Agreed, how it fits on the outside is personal preference
