Very nice, and appreciate the feedback. 245/275 NT01's pictured there?

I have to tell you guys, pretty much *every single enthusiast* who sees my Apex wheels loves them and wants info on where to pick up a set... Of course I send them your way!

Just a quick smartphone shot...but love the look. My second set is in silver (availability...) and won't look quite as good on my Agate Grey I don't think but will find out this weekend!

Epic! Do you mind sharing the specs of your setup along with the details of your suspension? Would love to see more of this car

Thank you sir

I'll make a build topic one of these days.... 981 GTS PDK and removed most of the interior (fully reversible) and added a bolted FIA cert. roll cage, single racing seat, JRZ RS Pro coilovers, 991S front + 996TT rear calipers with 350mm GiroDiscs all around. Fabspeed catless headers with their Cobb pro tune.

Used the silver set with the wider 9 inch fronts this weekend. Not bad either. Wish I had not gone for the 8.5 in fronts for my darker set.

Yea, for serious track/race cars with the appropriate amount of negative camber, the 9" front wheels are certainly the way to go for superior sidewall support. How much negative are you running?

Thank you for the mod list. I know other 981 Cayman owners will appreciate the supportive info!

I run around -3 front and -2.5 at the back which seems about right to get the Yokohama A005 slicks to work properly. I do still need to upgrade my sway bars as my stock X73 bars don't seem up to it even with pretty stiff racing springs (750/900lb F/R)

Copy that, thanks for the specs.

We work extensively with JRZ on their BMW line. Your GTS must be so satisfying to hustle around the track.

This has got to be one of the cleanest 996's we've seen, and we are pretty pumped that the owner incorporated our SM-10 wheels into his build.


2002 996 911 Carrera 4

Front:
APEX SM-10 18x8.5" ET42 in Race Silver
225/40-18 Michelin PS2

Rear:
APEXX SM-10 18x11" ET60 in Race Silver
285/30-18 Michelin PS2

Porsche crest center caps
H&R RSS Clubsport coilovers
Adjusted to GT3 street heights and alignment spec (-1º camber front & -1.5º camber rear)
Milltek exhaust
FVD motorsport oil pan
Low temp thermostat
Porsche rollbar
GT3 bucket seats

The owner says, "Works Perfect for me for a combination on street, autocross and track days."

It's pretty good! When the tires are fresh I get 1 race out of the slicks and then when we use them again for a practice session a few weeks later things are a little iffy rear grip wise.

And Yes, those are 315's in the rear! No rubbing, no modifications. Thanks Apex.

Epic!! Love the in-car footage, and what a beautiful track.

Fantastic color combo on this 996TT, thanks for sharing. I'm assuming the wheel and tire specs are as follows:

Front: 18x8.5" ET42 - 245/40-18 Toyo R888R (or 235/40-18)
Rear: 18x11" ET36 - 315/30-18 Toyo R888R

Any suspension modifications?
