So, what's the offset on those?
I thought if you went more than 15% out of spec the PASM/PSM would be effected in the AWD TT's.

I think the stock 997TT offsets are 56mm F and 51mm R - same as the C4.Originally Posted by E55AMG
Looks great! How'd you get them so fast? BTW, what is the stock offset?
Eclou,
Are those the ones that were on Ebay?

Now I just talked to Jesse at Champion Motorsport who was the project manager for the original PES GP7 wheels, and is once again project manager on the new ones. He assured me that the new wheels (and the old ones too) are the perfect aggressive fit for the 997TT, and will also fit the 996TT as well. I don't know who else could possibly provide a more authoritative opinion about the fitment.
Yeah, you got them about an hour before I was to pick them up!
Great deal!
Be sure to let me know if those 996tt offsets don't work out!
Thanks

eclou,
Just looking at the wheels again............will your TPMS sensors work? I don't see the machined area for wheels that use TPMS.
Also.........the offsets look a little wide. It looks like the tires will rub if you plan to lower the car. In your head on picture the wheels are past the front bumper and rear fender. If your running PS2's, they extend past the wheel by 3/4".
Can't wait to see the finished pic's. How soon will you have the tires mounted?

These are older wheels that had not yet been machined for the TPMS. My specialty machinist is locating the correct bit to open these up 2mm for the sensor valvestems. After that I will get the tires mounted
Why don't you mount tires on one side to insure they actually fit before modifying the wheels (in case you need to sell them)!

Some shots taken today with a 235/35/19 tire mounted. I was more worried about the front fitment than the rear (plus I have no spare 305/30/19) since the rear appears to have much more room anyway. I have not driven it as such yet but expect no issues - turn to lock in each direction has as much room as the stock wheel.
They will look AWESOME!
