Default BBS E88 9/12" x 18"

So I'm thinking I'll ditch these for something a little bigger, tires are MPSS 245/315 and are 50-60% rear, 70-80% front, 2 year old date code.
$5000+Shipping, they are perfect in every way.

Perfect rim for these cars. Well that’s my thought.
Good luck with sale. They should sell pretty quick.

Front 18x9 ET50 Rim halves are 8.0/1.0
Rear 18x12 ET42 Rim halves are 8.5/3.5


These are custom offsets to clear 380mm calipers too.

Hello, do think there would be any issues with fitment on an '01 Turbo with KW V3s at GT2 ride height? Thanks and love these wheels!

No, my car is lower than GT2 @ front 108mm rear 122mm
I am also running the GT2/3 uprights with -3 camber and -2.5 in the rear.

Here's a to plug sizes in and confirm they would fit fine:
https://www.1010tires.com/Tools/Whee...et-Calculator#

The front wheels actually protrude 4mm less than a stock GT2 wheel so you can run a 5mm spacer depending on camber.
The rears protrude 3mm more and fit fine but you can run a spacer there too depending on fender roll/camber.

Stock GT2 wheel offsets are:
18 x 8.5 Front ET40
18 x 12 Rear ET 45

Stock 996 GT3 offsets are:
18x8.5" ET 40
18x11 ET63

^ Thanks for the reply - I should point out that although I am at GT2 ride height, I have the stock turbo twist wheels which I believe are 8" x 50 and 11" x 45. Per the calculator, that would put the fronts at 13mm further out; and 16mm for the rear. I'll have to check how much more space I have but just want to make sure I can install these without any spacing, rubbing, or AWD issues. Thx

Those E88s are direct bolt on to the TT without any issues whatsoever. You could easily run a 5 or 7mm spacer on the front if you wanted.

Thanks for the clarification, I've run them with 5 and 8mm spacers and they clear no problem.
