Turbo owners, who has these sizes on their car? What are the wheel weights? Any rubbing with the wider wheels and tires? Did you have to use spacers? What offset makes the wheels fill the wheel well best? Overall satisfaction?

I have 8.5 fronts and 10 rears for my winter set. They both came with a certified label showing the actual weights of the wheels. The 8.5's were 18 lbs and the 10's were 20 lbs. I'm guessing the 12's are probably around 24 lbs. It looks like the fronts have plenty of room for 235's, but I can't speak for the rears. They are beautiful wheels and light weight for the price.

I have them on right now. Don't know the exact weights off hand but they felt pretty light.

I'm running the size / offset suggested by tire rack for the 996 Turbo wtih 5mm spacers front and rear, no rubbing. You can try the 996 gt2 offsets and you won't need spacers.

Larry, for Hohos, you do need spacers even with GT2 offsets (315s). Teknic3. The wheels you have now where mine new. When I got them new, the fronts weight 17.X lbs and the rears 19.X's from what the tag read when i got them.

Wow...that's lighter than I thought.

From what I saw on tire rack, the GT2 OZ wheels have an offset of 45 in the rear. The wheels I have on have an offset of 51mm, and with the 5mm spacers I have on puts them at 46mm.

So the GT2 offset should work from what I see on my car.
