9.5x18 front and 12x18 rear...WHO HAS THIS SET UP ON THEIR CAR?
Looking for input from people who are running a 9.5x18 wheel on the front of their 996/GT3
Offset?
Any rubbing issues?
What tire size?
Many thanks.....

I'm considering similar wheel widths but don't believe they'll fit under stock fenders. My car has the rear wheel wells modified as per the Cup car. The options I'm looking at are:
10 and 12" wheels with 265/645 and 315/690 Hoosier radial slicks
11 and 13" wheels with 27/65 and 31/71 Michelin slicks
Once I've sorted out the optimal combination of track/wheel widths/offsets/tires changes to the bodywork can be finalised. So far I'm considering the Getty carbon front fenders (that add 1") and leaving the rear stock or the Cargraphic wheel arch extension kit (bolt on flares that add 1" to each corner) or the Manthey widebody kit (which I believe adds approx. 4").
