I know the Apex’s have been shown before, but want to share my fitment. I am extremely pleased with the results and had compliments from several others (997, Caymans, etc.) at a track day over the weekend. Thanks Apex!

Thanks, these are hyuge (misspelled on purpose)! I have some interference (front wheel well liner and potential fr spring seat). I need to investigate more, but I drove about 8 hours over the weekend (including a full day at the track) and I am hooked!
Front (-2.5 Camber): 245 on 18x9 +46
Rear (-2.8 Camber): 315 on 18x12 +65
Probably my next move is to try a 2 or 3mm spacer on the front. Really need to get the car on jackstands and take a good look around. I tried a 5mm spacer on the front and it was too much (hooked my fr fender, and I had to re-roll it with a hammer handle).

Killer setup, @Ratchet1025 ! Great to hear you are enjoying them.

Correct, 245/40-18 front & 315/30-18 rear Nitto NT-01s.
We have 996 narrowbody, widebody and GT3 specific wheel & tire fitment guides here for anyone interested in learning more.
It really does look great though perhaps 8.5s are the way to go to fix interference
Yes I think that is good advice for suspension clearance. The wheel well liner soft touch is related to tire dia (and maybe caster) I think. I have heard about some mounting bracket adjustments maybe helping, I need to research it over the winter. It definitely mostly fits, that is what I was hoping for at this stage

While I do favor the GT3 OEM wheels for a 996, I think that APEX makes the best looking wheels for the 996.
