Yea, I'm with you... I've been waiting a week for their reply. Seems like a fundamental thing to show when marketing wheels especially for the Porsches. I'm just curious if the 18x10 versions have the proper 65ET offset or will spacers be needed.

And so basically, your GT3 replica rear 18x10 wheels at ET54 will not work with narrow body Porsche 996 models?

My stock BBS (see pic) are aligned perfectly at the edge I can't imagine going out 11mm (i.e. 1/2")... seems like you would risk hitting the fender's edge.

Unless your car has an aftermarket suspension and is lowered, the equivalent of an 11mm spacer will not cause the rear tire to rub the fender.

That's fine but can you please fix the misleading pics of the wheel where you show 996s wearing genuine 996 gt3 wheels and instead post actual pics of these wheels on a 996

Here is a photo of our 996 lowered using a 18x10 off-set (et. 50)... Much better angle over an over-head jacked up angle, put it on the floor and take an other photo, you may then notice that extra space you'll have to use a more aggressive fit. Now if it's a 993 then that would be a different thing all together.

We are not trying to mislead anyone, we are trying to only offer an example to show the general look to the vehicle, we also have a factory GT3 set here but will not throw those on in efforts to "mislead" anyone.
We will put you down for a set after posting up actual photos on the 996

Here is another picture of my '03 carrera cab and you can see that the offset of the rear OEM wheels (i.e. ET65) are aligned with the fender edge. Will your wheels with a 54mm offset stick out under the fender's edge using 285/30/18 tires?
Thank you!

Hi. Is that black Porsche a narrow body? What model of 996 is it (i.e. Carrera, Carrera 4, GT series, etc.)?

FWIW, I really like Wheel Dynamic wheels as it is spec'd to be the most aggressive looking/fitting on our cars without the need for additional spacers(a good thing).

I'm gonna say narrow body but I'll let Wheel Dynamics confirm. There are MANY members running 15mm spacers on factory wheels including the same style as yours without any issues, which basically brings it down to 50mm for the rear. The 54mm should fit fine with no issues. I was running 18x11 on 65mm offsets on my NB with no issues.

alpine003 is absolutely correct, lots of guys are running 7mm fronts and 15mm rears, this is a common purchase item for those who are keeping stock wheels.
We even offer them in sets, we have attached other photos for reference on the custom work available!
