BTW Ron, ads for a friend generally are not allowed, unless your friend is in an advanced camp in North Pole and can't buy or renew his membership..

Rears are 11", my error. Sorry about that, I will not do it again, I did not know it was against policy and I knew the car that these came from and felt I could vouch for them. Thanks for your understanding Slow.

What is with the 18 issue? If you can find the tire you wish in 19 then all that matters is rolling diameter.
Unless you want to shorten the ratio which imho better served with a R&P.
I just do not understand this obscession that if it's not 18 it sucks.

- you can see from the above picture (look at the rear wheel closely wrt the fender) that a 63 offset is a norrow body offset - so if any gt3 wants to run them they will work without spacer the OE spacer (may also work with the spacer depending on your tire choice)
- RS cars can run them as is or add 10-15mm spacer if they want

In the photo above the car had 15mm spacers installed.
