I have a potential buyer for my BBS E88's but here's the catch. They are GT2 offsets and he wants to put them on a 997 GT3. Will they work...?

 

Anyone know...? TIA guy!

 

Front will fit fine but will not fit at rear.

996 GT2 18 x 12 offset 45.

997 GT3 19 x 12 offset 68

 

Agreed.

 

Thanks Ray

 

Ray, do you happen to know the front by any chance?

 

i think the front is 18x9 55

 

Is this the standard GT2 offset? The wheels are actually 8.5in if that changes anything. Thanks!

 

996 GT2 are:

Front: 8.5J x 18 (ET40)
Rear: 12J x 18 (ET45)

 

The offsets mentioned are correct.This means ,on the front, the wheels would stick out an extra 10mm each side and,on the back,they would stick out an extra 23mm each side.I saw a 997GT3 with 15mm spacers all round and it looked pretty cool but the rears were slightly outside the guards.23mm would be too much.

 

Take a test fit. maybe if he rolled the rears?

Put on the wheels and tires, and slowly put one tire on the incline of a driveway and go all the way so that one tire is all the way on top of the curb and the rest are not. This will compress the suspension on two sides to the max and you can closely inspect the fit.

 

Thanks guys. The wheels fit fine on my Turbo, some one is just curious if they'll fit his 996 GT3. Doesnt look like it at this point.

 

Does anyone happen to know what the 996 GT3 offsets are and if GT2 offsets will fit ok?

 

From memory the fronts should be ok [5mm wider]the rear 996 GT3 offset is 63mm compared to 45mmGT2 which means they will stick out 18mm further each side.Might be really good?

 

I was told the rears wouldnt work. Can anyone confirm? TIA
