My 5 lug is also now all done. I did all the labor which is not too bad if you have a press and all the right tools. Swapped to Girodisc front rotors in the process and picked up some 997.1 GT3 oem wheels for street and rain tires. I can finally mount some 18's I have had for several months.

Wow, you pulled the whole rear axle shafts. That is not necessary. Good job though.

What wheels are you using to mount the 18" tires on?

All done!

is that anti seize on your studs?

mm450exc

Yes. I know - not necessary on the studs...

I found no way to remove the axles from hubs while on the car - at least without removing any of the subframe components - as there wasn't enough room. The easiest thing to do was remove the carriers with the axles intact, then remove the axles.

remove the anti-seize on studs.

If anyone is interested in going to five lugs and doesn't want to pay "new" prices, I will be posting some Forgeline street wheels (5-lug) and all the parts needed for the conversion within the next week or two. I've already posted the track wheels in the FS section. Street wheels and 5-lug conversion parts are next.

Send me a PM if interested.

I'm going back to CLs on my 4.0. Nothing against the 5-lugs installed by the first owner. I just prefer keeping my cars stock.

A long shot guys but any of you 5-lug converts still sitting on your centre-lock rims?

I'm looking to fit a set of 997.2 GT3 wheels to my 997.2 GTS which as you know has Centre Locks and is a wide body car.

So I need a pair of FRONT wheels from a narrow body GT3 and REAR wheels from a wide body RS...

FRONTS from a 997.2 GT3 (NOT RS) 8.5x19 ET53

REARS from a 997.2 GT2/3 RS 12x19 ET 48

Happy to buy in singles or pairs and colour not important as will be refurbished & painted. Can anyone help me? I'm in the UK but have a UPS account so happy to collect.

Thanks, Chris

Chris I have a full set of center lock wheels from a 2010 GT3 I will sell you the complete set if you are willing don't see any point in breaking them up PM ME IF THAT WORKS FOR YOU BEST REGARDS Tom hart

ChrisABP

If your wheels are GT3 (not RS) its only the fronts which are any good for me....

The fronts should be 8.5x19 ET53

Having said that if the price is good I would consider the set, have sent you a PM.

Any RS rears available out there???

Suncoast has the wheels discounted heavily right now. That's where I ended up buying mine.
