Default 997 Centerlocks - front fitment

I believe the GT3 and the RS centerlock wheels are the same - can someone confirm?

I am borrowing a set of regular GT fronts to find a shimmy on my RS and want to confirm regular GT3 front will fit RS front without rubbing

They are not the same, but for your testing purpose you'll be fine. The RS wheels are 9" wide and have a 245/35/19 tire versus the 8.5" wide GT3 wheels which come with a 235/35/19 tire.

The offsets are completely different. The RS uses the widebody fitment/offsets. Whether they will fit or not is another question.
I wouldn't count on it, but you can try.

They both look like 48 offset no?

Here's some data. You'll have to do the math based on offset, width, etc.

Also, I thought the RS uses Cup Car CLs which are incompatible with the Street Car CLs the GT3 uses (different CL mechanism)
