Is there any shot that these fit a 2010 GT3 997.2? I have always preferred the GTS/Turbo wheel design. I am super interested in these wheels if there is a shot that they fit, but concerned that the wheel spacing might be an issue from the GT3 setup. Also not 100% sure that the center lock setup is exactly the same. Its the exact same tire spec though 235/35/19 8.5-Front and 305/30/19 12-Back.

I've never seen anyone run them on a GT3, so im guessing its probably wishful thinking on my part, but I love these wheels and much prefer them to the stock 2010 GT3 wheels. If they did fit, I would gladly take these off your hands and re-post my stocks.

GT3 is narrow body and these are for Turbo/GTS/C4 widebody. The centerlocks would fit, but offsets would be wonky.

Wait, the GT3's of the 997's were "Narrow" body????

I was under the impression that they were just like the turbo's / GTS's.

Can someone confirm 100%?? I'd hate to miss a sale and him miss a great looking set on his car.

The GT2RS/GT3RS are widebody, but not the standard GT3. There are some others that share the widebody (e.g. C4S, Speedster).

Yeah, he is correct. This is what I was worried about. I really appreciate the confirmation from the forum. They are great wheels, you will get a sale soon enough im sure. Centerlocks just take more time to find the right buyer is all.

997.2 GT3 Centerlocks: 8.5" ET53 and 12" ET63
997.2 RS Spyder Centerlocks: 8.5" ET56 and 11" ET51

End result: The RS Spyder Front wheel will be -3mm 'in' (offset difference) and rear wheel will be -1mm 'in' (12mm offset difference compensated by a wider wheel) when compared to the GT3 wheels.
I have seen RS Spyders run on GT3's on Instagram, and I actually have both sets of wheels for my car, which is a narrow body 997.1 C2 with Centerlock conversion.

Ok, this is why Rennlist is awesome. Conversations like these. After doing a little more research I think I have something here.

the 2010-12 997.2 GTS/C4S/Turbo all have a chassis width of 1852mm, or 72.9 inches

the 2010 997.2 GT3 (RS) also happens to have a chassis width of 1852mm, or 72.9 inches

the standard 2010 GT3 however, is narrower by 44mm, or 1.7 inches. 1808mm / 71.2 inches.

I of course have the standard 2010 GT3, the 1.7 inch difference is not insignificant. Sounds like the Instagram pics of the 997.2 GT3's were likely (RS) models, it would make a perfect fit based on the matching chassis widths. I really dig the wheels, so I am going to call around to a couple of respectable tuning shops in the metro area and ask some thoughts on this one. I don't want to adversely impact the handling of the car for cooler looking wheels.but I'm definitely putting the time in here to see if it can work too.

Hey BS, are the wheels/tires still available? I was able to connect with a qualified specialist and they walked the thread and think that this should work and fit as @Aclmin described.
