Quick question about wheel offset for 996/narrowbody

Hey guys.
been a while since posted on this forum.
Im looking into buying gt3 replica rims and im not all to sure if they
would fit. The seller stated the offset being IS 45 on the back.
The auction is going to be over soon and im not interested in bidding if
i have to add wheel spacers to the rear.

cheers

Won't work.
63mm offset is what you need.
Those you are looking at already stick out too far so spacers will not help you here.

The offset depends on what width wheel you use.

For 11 inch I would go with 60-63mm
For 10 inch I would go with 47-50mm

These are perfect on my NB

You can see it at my post
