I know they are the same body style, but are they the same offset and do you need to roll the fenders?

Corey,
the fenders have to be rolled to be safe not touching. GT3 fenders were factory rolled. it's where u can't see that counts.

the GT3 rims are MUCH heavier than the 5-spoke lightweights... you will feel a decrease in acceleartion if you go with GT3 rims.

So maybe I should skip them. Are they just an inch wider and stronger for track use? I have an opportunity to get a set for a good price.
