Suggestion
The spacers are probably just to place the wheels a little farther out for looks or to change the handling characteristics with a wider track.

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.

Will these wheels fit on my NB 996?
GT3 wheels 18 x 8/11, offset 50 FRONT 45 rear?
Im currently running 18 X 7.5 50 offset and 18 X10 65 offset rear. With 15mm spacers front and rear.
Do I need spacers??
Did a search couldnt find any info.
Those are not going to fit. GT3 wheels will fit but not widebody GT3 look wheels. THe seller obviously has a TT/C4S.
Did you find them here on Rennlist?
the rear will stick out 5 mm farther than your current set up (dont use the spacers on the GT3)
front should be OK but dint check
use this tool to see and read the details at the bottom of the page - fun to play with, very interactive

Those are nice wheels, esp. from a maintenance standpoint... the ebay seller I bought my 19 Carrera Classics is wheelsandcaps. They basically drop ship from an autoparts wholesaler caller Keystone.
I have 19 X 11 rears with et67mm and they fit fine.
The rear tires at the time of this pic were too small, I need to upload pic with the 295 30 Vreds
I am working on lowering the car, but I do like the current ride height when getting in and out ....
I was just teasing Ed!
But, without a fancy calculator I would say he'd be out over 1.25" (30-32mm give or take) over his existing setup (remember you're not just comparing backspace behind the mount/center, the hoop/rim itself is wider too).
Sent you PM...will sell my set of OEMs with PS2 if the price is right.
Perfect fit without spacer... your exisiting stock rims will fit perfect with 15mm spacers.
Give me a day and I'll forget again. Oops but I wouldn't probably ask.
I guess it ends up the wheels fit. Would be nice if there were a spredsheet with what the 996 can fit on it.
Jake, thx for the offer and the wheels are beautiful looking!!! But its a bit outside my budget, wife would ring my neck. I could swing for a set of replicas or a beat up set of OEMs. (id have them refinished)
I bought a set of BBS REs and have winter tires on them right now. I was thinking of using them for summer and buy a more suitable set of rims for the winter. Dont drive it in the snow..only on clear days and clean roads just to get the car out of the garage to keep the engine happy.
I hear ya...beat up OEMs that are not bent and true will run you about $1400...plus refinsihing another $400-600 for the set...plus tires....===$$$
You may need to ditch the wife...LOL
Thoses are definitely a Turbo/C4S fitting. If you can get them with a bigger offset in the rear, they will work. You will need a 65mm+ rear offset. For example, stock 997 Carrera S wheels (19x8/19x11) will fit fine as the rear wheels have a 67mm offset.
