Sent you PM...will sell my set of OEMs with PS2 if the price is right.
Perfect fit without spacer... your exisiting stock rims will fit perfect with 15mm spacers.

Perfect fit with 15mm spacer or fit like your exisiting stock rims.
if these are OEM's? why the need for spacers? Maybe I mis-understood... my bad then.

Dame....I mean 15mm spacers for stock wheels...the OEM GT3 rims are perfect and no need for spacers.

NB = Narrow Body 996
WB = Wide Body 996 like the C4S and Turbo

Give me a day and I'll forget again. Oops but I wouldn't probably ask.

I guess it ends up the wheels fit. Would be nice if there were a spredsheet with what the 996 can fit on it.

The spacers are probably just to place the wheels a little farther out for looks or to change the handling characteristics with a wider track.

Just out of curiosity, what wheel are you looking to buy? I love the GT3 wheels. Great factory look.

Jake, thx for the offer and the wheels are beautiful looking!!! But its a bit outside my budget, wife would ring my neck. I could swing for a set of replicas or a beat up set of OEMs. (id have them refinished)

I bought a set of BBS REs and have winter tires on them right now. I was thinking of using them for summer and buy a more suitable set of rims for the winter. Dont drive it in the snow..only on clear days and clean roads just to get the car out of the garage to keep the engine happy.
