Will 996 GT3 wheels fit on my 997-S?
Im getting a set of 996 18" GT3 wheels for the track.

Front: 18"x8.5"
Rear: 18"x11"

Will they fit right on my 997?

Will I need spacers?

Does anyone know the weight for these wheel?

Thanks.

They should fit fine, but you'll more than likely need spacers.
If you haven't already bought the wheels, why not got a set of 18" Carrera lightweights?

[EDIT] n/m- I see the GT3 wheels are an 11" width in the rear, which is probably why you want them

Found this on the PCA website:
The OEM GT3 MkII wheels are 25 front and 28 rear

I saw that too but that to me sounds ridiculously heavy.

The gt3 wheels are supposed to be light.

There are lots of 996 GT3 wheels out there from what I've found. Hardly any 997 GT3 wheels though.

Im looking for 18" hence the 996.

997 GT3's are 19"

Those weights are about right. Certainly not ridiculous in those sizes for oem. Need to go aftermarket for lighter wheels.
