RS wheels on narrow body
I know wheel offsets have been discussed many times, but I've got my eye on a set of RS fitment wheels and was wondering if there is any possible way with enough camber I can get these things to fit? I really don't want to have to modify the wheels by milling them. Thanks for the help!

A friend of mine broke one of his wheels at a track day a few years ago and I let him finish the weekend on my RS wheels and street tires. They fit fine, no rubbing. Ran the rears without the 5mm spacer. '07 RS wheels on an '07 narrow body GT3.

Yes and no.
Fronts are the same. but Rear even if you remove the spacer it's still out from the most aggressive offset you can run on a narrow body thats useable.
Can it be done, sure. but you would need alot of camber and need to run a much narrower tire (stretch) to clear. Good for looks and street cruising but you would affect the handling characteristics .

I dunno what to say -- I've done it and it worked. But if it doesn't work in theory then I guess it's impossible. 
The wheels were fitted with 305 width RE11s at the time, and I'm pretty sure he was running a bone stock alignment with no unusual camber in the rear.

I have a extra set of OZ ultralegarra 10 RS fitment for front, 19x9 (color black). Used them for my 997.2 GT3. Switched back to the stock 8.5", due to SCCA solo rules for Super Stock.
Can't fit the rear RS wheels due to offset. Fronts are fine with RS specs.
