I was wondering how far in on the rear wheel does the Techart GTS sit. Basically if you measure from the face of the tire to the out side fender lip whats the the distance? I would guess about 1/4"? I like there agressive offset and would like to give my sport techno rims that offset. I think I need like 1" 1/4 hubcentric spacers.
All this make sense?

Makes sense. In simpler terms, you are asking what size spacer should be used to push out your sport technos to have a similar stance as the techart wheels would have.

I personally have no idea, but I would try contacting Brandon from tirerack.

the sport techno u have is offset ET63. the techart GTS is ET25. u need exactly 38mm spacer to get to ET25. assuming u're currently running factory 17mm spacer since the techno was only made in one size for both norrow & wide body 996s. u can find the spacer u need here:

http://www.boothedesign.com/

u can get 38mm to get to the GTS offset but it is very aggressive. take the fact u're running 18'' wheel so an aggressive camber in the back might work for u since the tire will last longer than 19''. just remember the inside tire will wear out faster than u think so be prepare for it. otherwise if u want a little less aggressive then the 32mm spacer will work perfectly. hope this help & happy new year!

Thank you for all your Help! My current techno rims I think sit about 1 "3/4 from the fender. The fronts aren't bad but the backs look terrible.

I found these on ebay. I think they may do the trick!

I have a set of those on my TL and have no issues. I would go with H&R just to be sure they're made well.

I run 15mm H&R spacers on my TT with longer bolts.
