OT: looking to trade my black CL for silver
https://rennlist.com/forums/for-sale-...in-silver.html

Anyone have their silvers sitting around gathering dust? If not interested in a trade, price? Need wide-body offsets, BTW.

The 5 lug hub kit is based off of 997.1 stuff. The 997.1 NB rear wheels are ET68 but run with a 5mm spacer. The 997.2 CL are ET63 and no spacer. When you install the 5 lug hubs on a 997.2, do you still need to net out to ET63? Need to know as I look for some street wheels.

63mm is the spec so when using the .1 wheels I use the 5mm spacer. But I leave the 5mm spacers on with my 63mm track wheels, for a net of 58mm and it looks/works great.

when you put 7.1 hub on your 7.2 CL conversion, the face of hub should be at same place. so when you pick offset, you would take similar offset as if you didn't change from CL to five lug

for example i run same offset on my RS before and after convsersion

Top of the class Mooty!

Also, the same on a non RS.....and if using 997.1 GT3 OEM wheels oneuse must also use the factory 5mm spacer in the rear to "make" a 63mm offset.

Don't think I can use those. I need wb offsets for the GTS.
