I'm running 11.5's on the rear of my C4S & so I don't think you'll be able to squeeze 12's on a NB car.
Leading evidence: 'Run 11.5's' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, The most frequently discussed action is 'Run 11.5's' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

On the rears I ran the ET63 12" wheels with 315 tires.

I run the fronts at ET35 on 8.5" wheels and -3.8 camber but I am on 997-RSR suspension arms all around with caster pucks so the setup is a bit different, much wider track width front and rear.

I now own a 2004 GT3 (same narrow body) and I run the rears the same way but with more negative camber.

It's pretty much the exact same as the 19x11 et52 I'm running right now.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Anyone running 12" wheels on the rear? I'm looking for a set of track wheels and found a set of OZ wheels on the Marketplace with the following specs:
Front:
18 x 8.5 ET 50
Rear
18 x 12 ET 63
Shouldn't be a problem with the fronts, but what about the rears?
Thanks in advance.
Yes they fit no problem without any spacers at ET63. I ran them on my 2003 C2 narrow body.
On the fronts I spaced the 8.5's out to ET38 with wheel studs and 245 tires. They will fit at ET50 (stock is ET53), but the wider track width is desirable. No rubbing on the fender at cup car ride height with camber at -3.
On the rears I ran the ET63 12" wheels with 315 tires. No spacers. Fit fine at cup car height and camber at -2.5. No rubbing.
I now own a 2004 GT3 (same narrow body) and I run the rears the same way but with more negative camber. I run the fronts at ET35 on 8.5" wheels and -3.8 camber but I am on 997-RSR suspension arms all around with caster pucks so the setup is a bit different, much wider track width front and rear.
12� width with 63mm offset would almost definitely require more negative camber than factory Carrera specs, but it could most certainly be made to fit.
Below is a picture (not mine, don�t remember where I found it) of a 996 with 997.1 GT3 wheels on the rear. From what I recall, he reported that inner clearance was not an issue and that they were flush with the fender. The wheels are 19x12 with a 68mm offset. So, a 12� wheel with a 63mm offset would be like adding a 5mm spacer to the wheels pictured here:
Can a 12� wheel with a 63mm offset fit on a 996 NB? Definitely. But it will probably not be at Carrera spec camber.
19x12 et63 is fine as far as outer fender clearance goes on 996.2. It's pretty much the exact same as the 19x11 et52 I'm running right now. I'm lowered 1" and run a bit of extra camber but not much. Inner clearance I couldn't tell you since I'm on an 11.
These are from a for sale thread on this forum.
The 5mm spacers on the rear give it an effective offset of 63. So that�s what 18x12 ET 63 looks like on a NB. Thanks to worm1998 for the helpful post.
