Has anyone put RS wheels on a non RS GT3? I have .2 GT3 and was wondering if there are fitment issues of putting an RS wheel on. The offsets in the rear are about 15 off I think..

thx

To be clear, I'm not looking to put OEM RS wheels on my non RS. These are in reference to the HRE that sharky has for sale.

I cant see it being the dream….

with pulled fenders and -4.5 camber it will be close

if that isn't your setup, then no - not going to work

I will be trying this weekend. I bought some wheels that RS spec. Will update.

be careful when you are lowering the car down

if these are 12" rims with a 305 or wider rubber with mid 40s offset the fender will not clear without substantial pulling

F1CrazyDriver

40s offset ? Oem offset is 53 on a RS.
Mooty and i tried them, but the car was on the air, it looked like it would clear. I suspect they will.

If i recall only 12mm net diffs from oem +oem spacer. I'll remove rear spacer and suspect all should be good.

Can u run spacers with a CL wheel?

Cool. Good luck. Let me know how it goes. Did you pull your fenders? I was under the impression from mooty that rs wheels won't fit non rs cars.

I'll take pictures and let you know... i think they are RS.. i dunno i just wired him funds after they fitted the car when it was jacked up.

I did not and will not pull the fenders.

What are plans for old wheels? Looking into track wheels now myself... If only I could flip these GT2 wheels!

F1CrazyDriver

old wheels ? you mean oem ?... use them on the car. Forgeline's are just track wheels. Car will be driven mostly on street so forgeline's will sit with fresh slicks wrapped and collect dust !

op, f1 has gen1 car, offset may not be same as ur gen2
and we run 10" so shorter
we also run more camber than most ppl

etchead, very hard to sell OEM wheels. f1 plans to keep his oe wheels. I do have oe stuff. lesson as I told my it her bud is buy same car I do. then the part savings would have paid the difference

ex: I must sold four sets of rs wheels and 30 sets of 6gt3 wheels

mooty

oh no, slicks again

Offset is a measurement of how far the backpad is from the center of the wheel. A +53 offset on a 12" wheel is different than on an 11" wheel.
