seriously, 20's on a GT3? What's the advantage? You can tuck up 19's with the coil-over suspension if you really want that look. I can't imagine there is a weight decrease.

I could be wrong but it looks like you are going to have rubbing problems with your rear tires when you go over some good bumps. Good luck.

Completely missing the point of a GT3 putting 20" wheels on it

I fitted 20" OZ Ultraleggera in matte black with Michelin Sport Cups to my GT3 RS. Before putting them on I checked their weight:

fronts with tires: exactly same weight as stock wheels
rears with tires: about 1,8 kgs less weight than stock wheels

I will also fit Titanium wheel bolts to save another 200g per wheel.

If you will go for light wheels then it will no effect that much on performance.

Most racers or lapping days fans will switch to 18" instead of the stock 19" wheels (better tires selection, cheaper, etc.). I can't see the point of putting 20" wheels on this car... other than the look only, which is not my cup of tea.

Guys, these wheels were built for a 997 Turbo that is why the rear fitment is a bit more flush, the owner sold the Turbo and picked up a GT3... but decided to keep the wheels.

I can understand where everyone is coming from and why most wouldn't put 20's on a GT3.

Personally I would have an 18" monoblock if I had a GT3.

To each their own.
