Default GT2 Wheels on a Turbo

Hi Guys,

Can I fit GT2 wheels on to a 996 turbo without spacers ?

Cheers

Sunil

Yes--they will not fit WITH spacers.You will need to get the rear guard lips folded ala GT2 to maitain rear guard clearance.

Hi, my car is an X50 and I am lead to believe that they have rolled wheel arches.

X50's don't have rolled fender lips. But it isn't hard to do or get done.

Guessing the GT2 wheels would make very nice track wheels..

Adam,

Are your fenders rolled?

Hi Edwin,

yes they are! I took the car down to Terry at Lawell Motorsports. Back then I had some outrageously offset Work wheels that needed it, but with my lowered ride height it still wasn't enough space for the bumps. More a wheel issue than anything else.
