I like the look.
Somehow, the rears don't look like they fit right.
What's the offset, and what are the tire specs?

Looks great but also looks like you could use some spacers. Makes a big difference in the overall stance.

Add spacers will make steering heavier.
I have the smaller wheel.

Never heard of anything like that. I've had the smaller sport wheel on all three of my 9977's, Spacers on the first two and custom offsets equal to spacers on the current GTS. Each of these cars could easily be driven with one hand with little effort.

maybe you can put your original front wheels on and feel the differences.I just removed the HRE from my car.It 's obvious.

I don't have to remove anything since I started out with stock offsets. Did not notice the difference you're talking about when I modified and again, I've never heard or read anything like it before. The 997 GT3 comes with wheel spacers from the factory so it's clearly not considered to have a negative effect on handling or they wouldn't put it on a dedicated track car. Interesting if anyone else could chime in here with an experience similar to that of bigzz.

That looks GREAT. I'm planning on doing the same to my Black 997S Cab so it's great to see the pics of your car before before I dive in . Are those Factory Porsche wheels? If not, who made them?
Thanks,

Ed
