Default 991 GTS WHEEL FITMENT

I'm new to the GTS group . I just purchased a 2015 GTS with the center lock wheels I'm considering picking up some wheels from a turbo and the offset is The same in the front as the turbo but the rear wheels are offset ET 52 on the GTS and 59 on the turbo. I was wondering if anybody has any experience using the turbo wheels on a GTS and if they will fit appropriately on the rear?

They'll fit. Someone here has a red targa GTS with Turbo S wheels.

Personally I'd say no... ET59 rears will be tucked even further into the wheel wells. While it will technically fit/work it won't look good IMO. Most people with aftermarket wheels are pushing the rears out furrther vs tucked in... but of course to each their own.

7mm spacers are the solution!

^^ LOL! I assume you are joking.

I did have a 996TT with factory 15mm spacers out back and 7mm up front, on the optional SportTechno wheels. I of course couldn't leave well enough alone and switched them for 30mm back/15mm fronts.

How does one install spacers on a Center lock wheel system? I'm not sure its possible. Vise is right on with his analysis. The turbo wheels will fit but are too tucked away and may or may not look awkward.

Which is why I said, "I assume you are joking." CLs can't have spacers.

I thought so but was thrown off by the following paragraph. Silly me.
