Front wheels are a different size and offset, .5" wider. Rears are a different offset. Better this time around than 997.1 where they used the same wheels and just put spacers out back.

MJ: respective technical specs on Porsche website indicate GT3 front wheels are 8.5" wide and RS are 9" wide. Have they changed or were you referring to something different?

RS Orderguide lists 8.5 wheels which is incorrect.

Interesting. They got the larger tire sizes correct but the different front wheel sizes incorrect.
Now I'm wondering about the exhaust system differences:
GT3:
"Stainless steel sport exhaust system with 2 center tail pipes."
RS:
"Sport exhaust system with 2 titanium tail pipes."
Early rumors were that the exhaust would be titanium and I think the assumption was that at least the center muffler would be titanium. The wording in the order guide makes it sound like only the bolt-on tail pipes are titanium. Anyone know the full details?
