12 is a tight fit on a 996 narrow bodied car.
As a general rule run the widest wheel you can for the size of tire you are running. I can't say I subscribe to the buy one set of wheels now while you learn the car and then buy a different set thinking. Why not just get the optimal to begin with, unless you have plans to have more than one set with track tires....

"Super light, a local independent shop uses them for the Boxter Spec series. Lou"
which shop?
those are not spec legal.
BSR wheels MUST be equal or heavier than OEM.

The shop is called Precision Motorsports, I believe that is what they said at one of their techs. I could be mistaken... I leave it to the tech inspectors to decide... I'm happy with them on my car, the price is right, with the right offset and the sinister look...

Insalled the 19" Wheels... Real Tight... Now What?
I just came across this thread, rather topical for me today. First let me introduce myself to the 996 GT3 community. I just traded my 07 997S for a 04 996 GT3. I've got 2 sets of 19" track wheels from the S which have to go. I've also got a set of CCW 18", 9" fronts and 12" rears. Don't have the offsets for them. The fronts look like they will fit fine with 245/40/18 hoosier R6's. On the rears I've currently got 335/30/18 R6's. With the rears mounted it looks like the side wall might be too close to the fender under compression. I'm hoping with 315/30/18 there will be enough clearance. The question I have is does any of you run 315's on your cars. If the 315 will fit and clear the fender, it looks like it may be tight, but with a little more camber than is on the car now it should be okay. The prior owner never tracked the car, so I'm expecting the current camber is only about -1.5.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thanks, John

va122 Thanks for the input. I didn't want to have to replace the CCW's. Good wheels. Can't wait to get this baby on the track and see what it can do. March seems like a long way off.
