Will these 996GT3 wheels work on a 996TT?
I have a 996TT 2004.
Looking at a new set of wheels- Kinesis, K28,
18x8.5 41 offset
18x11 66 offset
These were on a GT3, not sure if they are stock offsets...
Will these work? Spacers required?
TIA for any advice
Adam

By my calculation, the front of a stock 8" wheel with a 45mm offset is 57 mm from the face of the hub (8" = 204mm; 204/2=102mm minus the 45mm offset is 57mm)
Looking at these wheels I found, the 8.5" wheel is 216mm, half is 108, minus the 41mm offset is 67mm... so the front of this other wheel will be 10mm or 3/8" further out as compared to my stock wheel. This ain't much. However, I don't have a clue which is why I posted...
On the rears the offset is 66mm versus the 50mm on the stock, so I think this definitely needs a spacer. (Otherwise the wheel will sit 'in' 16mm as compared to stock, right?)
Thx

996 GT3 = Narrow body
996 TT = Wide body
K28's are nice wheels but, don't think these will work w/o spacers at least on the rears. Have seen 996 GT3 OEM style wheels on turbo but different offsets than GT3. These are specific to the turbo.
