will a 996gt3 wheel fit a 996tt properly?
Looking at a set of CCWs from a local person (who is unwilling to let me test fit them on my car). He had them made for his 996gt3 in sizes 18x9 and 18x11.5, however he does not know the offsets. I was just wondering if I could get a confirmation from the experts regarding fitment on a 996tt. Thank you very much.

...you will definitely need spacers for the rears if you don't want the wheels to be sunken in since 996 GT3's (narrow body) run higher offsets then 996 TT's (wide body)

...For example...My friend running 19x11 +50 on his 996 GT3 has the wheels flush with the fenders and my other friend has similar fitment on his 996 TT with 19x11 +25...

No problem! Here's a backspacing/offset calculator which is coincidentally from the same company > http://www.ccwheel.com/files/incs/te...rter/index.php

Depends on how aggressive you want to run your wheels If you search around you should be able to find the different offsets used and pictures of those offsets for 9" fronts and 11.5" rears on a 996TT and decide from there how pushed out you want your wheels to be! I have seen 9" +41/11.5" +26 on Cargraphic's website, but that is more on the lower end of the offset scale for a 996TT
