wont fit. one is narrow body.
although GT2 has wheels that look like GT3 wheels. those will work wiht wide body cars.

GT3 wheels are
8,5x18 ET40
11X18 ET63
Turbo wheels are
8x18 ET50
11X18 ET45
Yes they fit but they would look better if you add spacers at the rear.

They will fit just fine if you add the factory 17mm rear spacer kit. It's what I have on my 996Turbo since it was ordered with Sport Techno's. The ST wheels are the same as the GT3 sizing.

I was able to use the TT wheels,
but I found I needed to add a small spacer on the front because the wheels flexed a bit under heavy cornering load (on the track) and ever so slightly brushed the calipers.
