Need helps on TechArt Body kits purchase and questions.

I am in the market of buying the Techart kits, would really like to mix the GT front and side skirts with the regular TA rear diffuser and Spoiler. Will this configuartion work, I was told if I wanted to get the GT front, I need to get the front carbon Fenders with intake ducts as well. Is it true?

Can anyone give me some clue on the offset for formula 20" 8.5 front and 12 rear for TT and any spacer required?

Thanks..
Kenneth

Hello Kenneth,
The GT Street Front Bumper will work with out adding the Techart fenders.

The offset on the Formula wheels is 20X8.5 with an offset of 40 and 20X12 in the rear with an offset of 48. Spacers are not required for these wheels.

If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us.

I do not think the GT bumper edge will line up properly with the OEM fenders as the GT fenders are 10mm wider at the wheelarch. TechArt is making a special wheel for the front of the GTStreet which is the 20x8.5 et40 mentioned above. TechArt's standard wheel for all 997 models with standard fenders is a 20x8.5 et52. I do not think the et40 will work with the std fender.

We do have a full aerokit type I in stock in our Dallas warehouse in case you decide to go that route. Personally I think the GT front bumper may be a little heavy without the rest of the GTS parts, but that is just me.
