Thanks for the reply but now I'm even more confused...I think...OK my understanding is that the smaller the offset number the farther the wheels sticks out.....so for example a OZ 9x19 for a 997GT3 is et51 and that is pushed all the way out to the edge on the fender.....Your saying your 9x19 offset is et46 plus spacers...so even a et46 would be even further out past the fender. The 2010-11 GT3RS is 9x19 et47 and only fits because on the stick on fender flairs.....see how I'm confused now???
A)Stock GT3 is 8.5x19 et53
B)OZ and some others are 9x19 et51...pushed way out to the edge of the fender plus the .5" wider wheel
C)Forgeline quotes me a 9x19 at et44....to me that would be way out past the fender
D)The MM1 is listed at 9x19 et46 and you say you run spacers too?

this wheel offset calculator is pretty helpful: http://www.1010tires.com/wheeloffsetcalculator.asp
I know Manthey run these wheels with the rear spacers on GT2's. they don't run spacers at the front. here's their car on the setup:
they run the same wheels on GT3's without spacers front OR rear.
of course I wasn't 100% sure they would work on my car, as the RT12 has even wider hips than a GT2. however, both Manthey and Ruf said that given the specs, it should be fine. so i took a deep breath and pulled the trigger.
don't know if i've helped... i guess the point is, if you wanted these wheels for your GT2, they should work fine. someone much more knowledgeable than me would be able to answer about other wheels?

HESP, you have an amazing Ruf car.
I loved the OZ deep dished wheels. These are more conservative, but I'm sure they're lighter. It's always good switch it up and I'm sure you could go back or onto something else in lickety split.
Thanks for sharing.
