They look spot on Luis, can you confirm the rim and tyre sizes you are running for me? Is it exactly as Mooty said on page one? Sorry if I should be able to work it out, I just want to be clear on the best sizes & options....thanks everyone

Fitment looks perfect Luis, thanks for the pics. It looks like there is still a little room under the front fenders for a 245/40 too (I have some NT01 that I want to burn up).
mark996gt3, I have no experience with these particular wheels but camber does affect wheel fitment, I'm not sure what camber Luis is running in the pics above but most guys tracking their GT3s have somewhere between 2.5 and 4 degrees negative on the front.

Great thanks for all the advice, cheers, however, a little peturbed by Mr Ayo's incident....that was using a 9 inch front, yet other people say it fits fine and no contact? Mr Ayo, were these the same wheels and when they were fitted, was there any contact on testing? Or did it only occur at the track day?

Stock suspension, around -3 camber. Every car is different apparently.

I've since removed the spacers and went down on the barrel size to get to 11.5 and have no more issues.

I have a set of fresh PS2's in 245/315 for the street that need wheels.
Anyone know if the OZ alleggrita in 18 fit over 380 brakes?
Hopefully someone can chime in no since I got rid of a perfect gunmetal set in GT2 size.

The offset was your problem, not the 12" width. When you ran the 0288274 centers with a 1.5 lip and a 10.5 barrel, you had offset of ET 74.4mm. A 5mm spacer made it ET 69.4mm. A 12" with at ET 61-64 would have worked. When you swapped the barrel to 10", you ended up with a 11.5" ET 61.7mm wheel which is the correct offset.
