The 3/4" thickness will account for the increased section width mounting the tire on a wider wheel and will cover the increase of the offset. Then all you have to do is look down the side/fender of your car and make your own judgement.

Shouldn't take any longer than the time to drink a cold one.
ExMB... Just from the Math and the way the GA1R looks (19x9 +48) I can tell it will poke beyond the fender... I would have to run -3 camber or more just to prevent rubbing.

In that case your post (#26) doesn't make sense; it expresses fitment doubt.

if you don't mind a contrary opinion, i think those look totally off on a GT4. the wheels aren't bad looking, they just don't belong. i know they have other, non-aesthetic benefits, but that's my input on this thread.

Your not the only one that has told me this...

They look good, they are affordable and they are forged HOWEVER they don't belong on a Porsche.

BBS, Forgeline and HRE only.

To bad they dont have 19-20" options.

Only Options for us is: TE37 Ultra or the Advan GT's.

I've always liked the Te37 ...
but if I compare the pics, the 991 looks way better on them than the 981

What size would you guys want these made in? 19's or 20's? Any specific colors?

I have the ability go these made and would like to understand full interest before I commit to having them made. These are not a standard run and require a special order build run to be made which is basically 10 sets.
