GT3RS rim fitment

I have opportunity to buy a set of center lock 2010 GT3RS rims. Has anybody used them on their turbo. I have read about front differential problems when you go with the wider rims and tires, is this true.

Thanks I saw that and another thread about the diff. Never found out if the wider rims and tires caused the diff failure or not.

There are certain sizes you can use that will not damage anything.

I don't think a Wider wheel will have any problem, as long as you run the correct tire size.

For example, my car has 1'' wider rear wheel and 0.5'' Front, and I use stock measurement tires.

On wider wheels, some tires might look stretched, while others look OK.

My friend has HRE Wheels on his Turbo S, with 335 tire on the rear and I forgot the front, and that's fine too.

I think what you can't use is 325 or 315.

You can run the GT3-RS wheels on the turbos. 19 inch, 245 fronts and 325 rears.
