Mike, they are a great wheel, however the off-sets are shy of stock. Now that I have ran the car with spacers, that is the only way I will run it.
Get some Hoosiers and get hooked up on the track, they are awesome!
04 GT3, euro seats, tequipment bar, Schroth harnesses, differential upgrade, Fabspeed Full Exhaust and ECU upgrade, Champion RG5 wheels, Hoosier R6's, RS C.F Wing w/8 degree shims, neg. camber alignment.
Previous Mentionable Cars:
06 BMW M3 SMG - Tracked
01 911 Twin Turbo - Fast
02 Honda S2000, lots of fun!
77 930 Turbo – A real Handful
81 911SC – My first Porsche
68 Shelby GT500 – all Original
70 Mach-1 – Black Beauty

F: ET45; R: ET65 (what Champion specs for GT3), so they are slightly off (F40, R63 stock) from stock as you say. I wonder if this fitment is a slight compromise since it is a forged wheel that will fit all 996 variants (C2,C4,GT3).
Are you running a 5mm spacer front and rear? Rears seem to be pretty close to stock offset.
As for Hooters - I think I have a ways to go on MPSC's. Those were enough of a revelation versus the PS2's I had been running. If I ever get to the point where I'm filling up Mooty or 171's rear view I'll consider them ...

MJB, the RS wing, neg. camber alignment and Hoosiers put me into an new mindset or hemisphere.
I went from being in someone's rear view to leaving them behind to ponder "why they need Hoosiers".
No kidding, I love speed and that was a huge addition to lower my lap times.
Get R Done!
