Winter centerlock wheels

Hi

Has anyone bought the oz ultraleggeras from tire rack for winter wheel? The fronts are 9 inch and rears come in two widths, 11 and 12?

Which one fits properly? I am planning on putting them on a 2016 GTS which should be the same fitment.

Any photos would be great too.

Thanks.

Question Also want info please

Hello. I've got a salesman waiting to hear my decision on what, if any, vehicle to purchase. I'm leaning to a 2016 GTS Cab but it has center locking hubs and I live in the Northeast.I went on Tire Rack today and couldn't find any wheels that would support winter tires for this car. I'd also love the answer to the original poster's question.

It's not that I view a convertible 911 GTS as a practical car, but I hate add-ons that look good but hurt function. I fear the center locking hums may be that. I'd much prefer 18 or 19 inch wheels for snow tires if it is possible.

If I buy a Porsche in the next few days (911 GTS, 4S, or Boxter), I'll take the time to introduce myself more properly. Meanwhile, thanks for any info.

When looking for a winter wheel for the GTS look for fitments for a 991 turbo or turbo s. That is the correct match for the GTS.

If you are looking for 18 or 19 inch winter tires/wheels, then get the GTS with the 5 lug wheels, a no cost option. However, you can get winter tires and wheels for center locks--just fewer choices, a little more money and also 20 inch mandatory unless you go custom. Hope this helps, but my original questions is still there if anyone knows the answer, thanks.

Turbo and GTS have the same front offset, 51mm, the rears are different both turbos are 56mm and GTS is 48mm.

are you positive?

suncoast shows the identical winter wheel for a turbo or a GTS, 51 offset front and 59 rear for 8.5 inch and 11 inch respectively.

my dealer told me to look at fitments for the turbo, so did tire rack, I would assume the story for summer is the same as well then.

thanks.

Yes, I am sure. The turbos have wider rear fenders, thus the difference in offset. The turbo wheels will fit, but sit in the wheel well differently. This has been verified by PCNA.
