Excellent! Will you be doing the VS-5RS in satin black (20’s for GTS)?
Eventually I may upgrade to PCCB.

Apex Wheels

Yes for a GTS or PCCB car, we have Front: 20x9”ET44 // Rear: 20x11.5" ET60 paired withFront: 245/35-20 // Rear: 305/35-20 or Front: 255/35-20 // Rear: 305/35-20

I looked through the thread and maybe I missed it but does anyone have 20” all around on a 992 with SPASM?

Would the rears look too fat relative to the fronts? Or would you recommend going to 19/20? I actually think the base 992 wheels look too small but m not sure if that’s because of not being lowered with SPASM and the overall diameter (295/40/20 vs 30/35/20 for example = 3/10” of a difference in diameter, with tire height difference not being 1/10”).

This is a brand new rear wheel size for the 992 Carrera so the only photography currently available is the silver C2S cab seen above. Both the 19/20 and 20/20 are viable options for the 992 you just have to match the tire selection for each option to account for tire diameter percent differences front to rear. So if we look at the OE tire heights for a 20/21 equipped Carrera S is 26.8" front and 28.2" rear or a 5.2% increase. Our 19/20 recommended sizing of 255/35-19 and 315/30-20 is 26" front and 27.4" rear of a 5.4% increase which as right on for what the stability systems in the car will want. You will see half of the decrease in overall height in a ride height drop and the other half in fender gap. Finally, the 20/20 setup uses 255/35-20 and 305/35-20 which is 27" and 28.4" respectively, which is right back to being a 5.2% increase in tire height front to rear. You will see roughly an extra .5" of sidewall per side (1" overall) on the rear 20" compared to the factory 21"

Hi Brandon - What are your thoughts on 19/20 but in 265/35/19 and 325/30/20 Sport Cup 2’s? Will it clear if lowered a bit more? May be looking at some Ohlins R&T in the near future. Also what width and offset would you recommend with that setup? This would be for a 992 S with SPASM.

Apex Wheels

That should work just fine, if anything needs to be adjusted it would be a tad more rear camber. The photographs above are already running 265/35-19 PS4S front tires and the Cup 2 specs are nearly identical. The 325/30-20 is the preferred partner to the 265/35-19 in terms of tire diameters. Sizes for that would be 19x9.5" ET45 and 20x11.5" ET60.

thanks. Do you know if the 992 cab pictured is lowered on SPASM?

Apex Wheels

I sadly don't know if this is an SPASM equipped car or not.

Finally mounted up. I couldn't have chosen a better wheel for my pcar. I need to get better pics...

Man I really wish you guys would make 21”. I’d be all over this along with many other 992 owners.

Apex Wheels

Right now we have our 19x9.5"ET45 and 20x11.5"ET50 for 992 Carrera models (excluding GTS or PCCB-equipped cars). We are looking at 21" wheels as something we may offer but that is still too far out to give any concrete information on.

Denf!

What would really be nice is a stock 996 GT3 size offer. Meaning 8.5J ET40 front and 11J ET63 rear. VS 5 RS or SM-10 RS with option for Bronze or at least gold Motorsport.
For the 996 platform there are almost no good light track wheels. The idea of running a 9J with ET46 in the front is not satisfying, as ET cannot be compensated with wheel width and spacers area a no-go.
Furthermore, my car with 3,5° camber in the front already rubs slightly on full lock with the stock wheel/tyre sizes on the plastic covers in the front. The car has a Manthey setup and is quite low (105mm front and 123mm rear). It goes to show that it is a tight fit upfront and in any case messing around with ET/width isn't the solution.
If you produce something as mentioned above I think there would be quite some people interested in buying those wheels, since there are almost no plug and play lightweight options for the 6 GT3. The only one I know of are OZ alleggerita, which are very light but in my opinion have a very questionable look.
Please Apex, don't make me buy the Alleggeritas..
