I have decided to let this set go. They are CCW C14 Wheels 18"x10" and 18x12". I bought them from NJ-GT this last summer and never got around to using them. They are in good shape with minor scuffing around the bolt holes from mounting and unmounting. They have Toyo RA1 275/35R18 - 335/30R18. Fronts 3 track days, 3 autocrosses, Rears 1 Track day 1 Autocross

Price lowered! I'm asking $2000 plus shipping for the whole wheel and tire package. Was $2300

The picture that I attached are the wheels on NJ-GT's car.

Thanks

I also will consider parting the wheels from the tires.

I'm asking $1700(was $1900) for the wheels plus shipping and $300 (was $400) for the tires plus shipping.

I have also added pictures of the wheels and tires taken a few days ago and they are further down the post.

Do those sizes fit with no rubbing/clearance issues?!

Holy contact patch Batman !

Serious rubber. Nice wheels.

According to NJ-GT you would need to rotate the front struts to gain more negative camber. If you ran
-2.5 camber and had Roland Kussumaul's settings for suspension and rolled the fenders, then it would fit and work well. It will work with the stock suspension.

That's strange to see. I am buying NJ-GT's old car from Jerry. Maybe I should buy the old wheels too so they can be reunited. Seems like an awful lot of rubber to fit under a narrow body car though.

That would be fantastic! All you have to do is mount them. No adjustments needed.

Carnerd

Congrats! That's a sweet car! I'm glad Jerry was finally able to sell and that it's staying with in the RL family. See you at the track!

Duh, will these fit my GT2 without rubbing?

Two points:

1. These tire sizes, while huge, are not unheard of in the 930 world (as you probably have heard) and a widebody early 911 (930) is almost exactly the same width as a narrowbody 996 GT3.

2. You can always later run 265/315 on the same rims. These tires will be cheaper than 275/335 and have a little less grip, but will perform better on 10s and 12s than 9 or 9.5s and 11s or 11.5s that you might get if you were going for 265/315 in the first place.

(I'm probably going to sell my pretty fikses and try to squeeze 10/12 ccws on my 930.)

Hi would this set up work on my 996 gt2,also would you sell without tyres and ship to uk

They should work for the GT2. I believe the offset is 33mm.

GT2rainge

Is that 33mm offset front and rear? Or if not what is the offset front and rear

Congratulations, you're getting a monster of a 996 GT3. I can't match yet the autocross performance of my old GT3 with the RS, not even close.

You should buy those wheels. Eddie didn't use the wheels since I sold them. The rear tires had 1 day at Cal Speedway, and one autocross at the same venue. They're pretty much new. The front tires had three track days and three autocrosses. I keep a log of all my tires since 2002, miles, autox, track, since 2007 I added heat cycles to the log.

These wheels can run 265/315 in any stock 996 GT3, but the 285/335 setup is faster (I ran 285/335 Hoosier on them).

The rear tires alone were close to $1,000, you're buying the strongest/lightest wheels for any Porsche for the difference.

Rad also responded to my PM for more info on these wheels.

"Front offset is 34mm and rear offset is 63. The rear is same as stock. The front is 1/4" more aggressive to allow the 10" wheel."

"For a 996 GT2, the 17mm spacers are needed. I have a set of them here that I can sell. they're factory Porsche spacers for the 996/997."

Please contact Rad for the spacers. I hope this info is helpful.

Thanks

Sounds like there is plenty of interest in these wheels. Since I'm already in a wheel/tire dilemma with my 911 and 930, I should probably just be happy I have a GT3 coming my way. Seems like a good deal, however, so I'll keep my eye on the thread.

Rad- looking forward to getting your old car. I'm still kind-of a novice driver so I hope that having piled up some seat time driving the not-so-easy-to-keep-under-me 930 will allow me to do the GT3 some justice. From what you, Jerry, and Mooty have said, it sounds like a very capable car. Now if the shipping company could just get on the stick and get the car out to me!!!
