Thanks, very nice set up. Are your wheels custom offset? The CH-R 12" wide only comes with et 45. I would prefer a et 50. The 11" comes in 56 et, so i would have to probably space it 10-15mm. Thanks for the info.

If I may, ET45 is 5mm wider (more outside) than ET50, so if yours are ET50 +5mm spacer your ET is now 45.
The CH-R are 45 stock so would sit exactly like yours now, so no need for any spacers.

To OP, just go for the 12". No need for spacers and if you lower car they will sit just perfect. On a stock suspension car they are wide, but not 'too', if you use the stock 305 size which works fine on a 12":

CH-R's are some of the nicest wheels available, but they seem a bit heavy. I almost bit the bullet and bought a set for my M3, but decided a different route due to that.

Cool, any issues running those sizes in 19s (245/325)?
Thank

The 245/325 combo is popular down here on 997 turbos. Saw a Toyo 305 on a 19x12 chr. Looked great, sidewall was normal, no typical 305 stretch. I'm a Michelin Guy. Just an option though.

Some pictures you requested. I still can't find the spacer width lol. If I have to, I'll pull the wheel off here soon.

Lots of guys running 245/325 now with the GT2 rear sway bar. Well worth doing.
Thanx for the tip, just got some pss in 245/325 with my gt2 bar, feels really good on the butt meter!

Car looks great! Just to confirm - you're running the 12" wide rears with spacers? I'm considering these wheels as well, but would prefer the fitment in the rear to be slightly less aggressive.

Thanks,
Kyle
