Mike, our cars are 19x8.5 ET53 and the widebody RS are 19x9 ET47... Clearance to the strut is the same but they sit outwards about 12mm so you'll need either aggressive alignment or those RS fender extensions to accomodate them...

Lots of GT3's I run with use the RS 9" wide et 47 wheels either OZ, BBS, Forgeline with no problems...plenty of clearance. Most are running around -2 to -2.5 degrees camber.

Thanks Gents

I have recently put some RS fender flares on and added a set of BBS E88's for track wheels but I am getting another set of wheels and just exploring offset options.

The E88's are 43's and set maximum track but also need good neg which is no issue for track alignment for slicks

the new set will be for R Specs for special road trips and wet track days

I know those OZ Challenge 9x18 et47 fit both GT3 and GT3RS no problems. Lots of guys here are running those wheels in that spec for the front.

thanks Mike

greatly appreciated

I am considering 3 at the moment and everyone who runs any of them speak favourably

OZ Racing Challenge
Forgeline GA3R
Interested in Rays Volks G12PCL but these are 19" only and I am leaning toward 18's

OZ is strong great bang for the buck but they are not forged. How ever I had for Forgeline GA3R for test fit wheels and although they are forged they were 2-3lbs per wheel heavier than the OZ. The mono block Forgeline are lighter though but the GA3R are super heavy.
