I was just trying to picture my car today with a wing delete. Looks amazing on your car! The wheels, springs, stone guards, and red taillights pull it all together for a very cohesive, aggressive look. Well done you

Thank you very much... I am also very happy with the car...

The wheels are BBS CH-R... The central Look is from wheelworkx Germany...

Wow, fantastic, very unique car! Those look like GT3 wheels. How do they fit? Any need for spacers?

Your car is very cool. What was involved in removing the wing?

Also interested in the fitment of the GT3 wheels. I’ve considered trying to pick up a used set but wasn’t sure about the fitment.

I converted the vehicle from 5 holes to the original Porsche central lock.

First I had 997 GT3RS 4.0 rims on it. Unfortunately, the offset at the rear is too small or too high. The rims were too far in the wheel arch. Then I just dared to try it and bought 991.1 GT3 rims. These fit perfectly.

Track widening is of course not possible with central locking ...

The rear conversion was relatively easy. I bought the convertible top compartment (third brake light Carrera) & trunk lid from a 997.1 4s (goes higher) ... A little manual skill and the "Touring" is ready ...

No issues with clearance or rubbing on the 991 rims? I was told they probably wouldn’t fit and never seriously looked into it. If you don’t have any issues I might have to start looking
