Default Will gt3 wheels fit on a NB 996?

Will these wheels fit on my NB 996?



GT3 wheels 18 x 8/11, offset 50 FRONT 45 rear?

Im currently running 18 X 7.5 50 offset and 18 X10 65 offset rear. With 15mm spacers front and rear.

Do I need spacers??

Did a search couldnt find any info.

Those are not going to fit. GT3 wheels will fit but not widebody GT3 look wheels. THe seller obviously has a TT/C4S.

Did you find them here on Rennlist?

No just a general question they are all over the place in that size...I really want a gt3 look for the car and love the simplicity of those wheels...

If those are reps from ebay.... they also have gt3 spec reps that will fit the NB. For the rear 11" need 63mm et.

Is that a "generic" pic from an eBay ad? As has been stated you can get them in the correct sizing for a narrow body.

just go to ebay and type PORSCHE GT3 WHEEL. The narrow body sizing is et63 in the rear not 45 for the 11 inch wheel.

the rear will stick out 5 mm farther than your current set up (dont use the spacers on the GT3)

front should be OK but dint check

use this tool to see and read the details at the bottom of the page - fun to play with, very interactive

Those are nice wheels, esp. from a maintenance standpoint... the ebay seller I bought my 19 Carrera Classics is wheelsandcaps. They basically drop ship from an autoparts wholesaler caller Keystone.
I have 19 X 11 rears with et67mm and they fit fine.

The rear tires at the time of this pic were too small, I need to upload pic with the 295 30 Vreds



I am working on lowering the car, but I do like the current ride height when getting in and out ....

I was just teasing Ed!

But, without a fancy calculator I would say he'd be out over 1.25" (30-32mm give or take) over his existing setup (remember you're not just comparing backspace behind the mount/center, the hoop/rim itself is wider too).
