Has anyone mounted BBS E88 Racing Wheels on their 997 GT3.
If so, where did you purchase the wheels and were there any issues such as TPMS?
Thanks,
Mike

I'm running the 18" BBS race wheel on what was once a 997 GT3 street car...
you WILL have issues going from this wheel back to the OEM wheel (BBS thickness/stud/OEM lug bolt thing)...unless you are leaving the BBS wheel on all the time.
GRussell had a "thinner" center section wheel like mine that worked with the OEM lug bolts but I'm not sure what model it was...drop him a PM
...call Kerrigan at Synergy Racing for offset/order info.

I will switch to an 18 as soon as I wear down the Corsa's on my stock 19's.
I was also thinking about going with the same 8.5" front with a 235 but with an 11" rear and a 295 tire, maybe the PS2's. Is there any reason this is not a good idea?

Dave is correct, just remember that it depends on which centers are used. If you use the "Cup Car center" as I did, OEM bolts will not work because of the thickness. BBS has a thinner center they can use for a street car application and that is what you want if you will be switching back and forth between the BBS wheels and the OEM GT3 wheels using OEM lug bolts.
