Champions 19" RS98s

I just bough them http://www.championmotorsport.com/996RS98.htm

What do you guys think of them? I probably should've asked before buying, but it was love at first sight. I'll post pics with them on my car once the weather warms up and I replace my winter rims with these.

Champion makes great wheels. Strong and light.

Not sure what just bought them means, but if you specify GT2 fitment they will come 1/2" wider front and rear. You may have to roll your rear fenders, but that's rudimentary.

Probably won't see the difference, but if you're spending the money they better as wide as possible IMO.

I run 7mm spacers front and 15mm rear with the "normal" TT (aren't we spoiled?) champions and they work great.

Ari,

I hear 'ya about being as wide as possible. The wheels I bought are 19x8 FRONT WITH A 46 OFFSET AND 19x11.5 REAR WITH A 44 OFFSET. What spacers would you recommend? I'd prefer to avoid rolling the rear fenders. Thanks

Same exact size I have. probably 7mm front and rear. 15mm rear if you roll it's super easy.

you'll need 60mm lugs to go with the spacers. They will fit both 7 and 15 mm spacers.

Aaronchan: Looks GREAT! I'm really pumped up to get mine now.

Ari, Many people frown on usung spacers, do you know why? Also, where can I get the right spacers and lugs if I decide to go with them? Thanks
