997 GT3RS wheels on narrow bodied 997 C2S? with pics!

I'm sure this has been covered a trillion times over the past years? but looks like its still a yes and a no kind of question Can someone please point out if these are GT3RS offset wheels at the back? the rear looks rather concave to me compare the NB GT3...

from the offsets, it looks like those wheels are gt3 spec or spacers are installed in the rear.

Look on either side of the valve stem and you'll see the width and offset - for the GT3RS wheels you should see 12 to the left and 51 to the right. I believe it will show 67 to the right it's a GT3 rear wheel.

Thanks for sharing those pictures. I have a silver narrow body and have been wondering how my car would look with those wheels and bumpers, sans GT3 rear wing. I don't feel right about making a GT3 clone.

I believe you have 19" Carrera S II Wheels. They are the same as I have on my 2011 CAB.

Suncoast http://www.suncoastparts.com/product...e=9972s_wheels

The design of the 19-inch Carrera S II wheel is as sporty as it is powerful. It speaks a language which suits your Porsche completely. This is the same wheel package which was released on the 2009 Carrera models, this allows you to update your car to the latest style wheels.

I'm running GT3 size volks as my summer setup and have no issues clearing the front or rear fenders. The rears are 19x12 and I'm running 295's on them. I'll probably switch the tires out shortly with 305's.

you know whats so funny, even though the GT3 and s are the same narrow body.. the picture above really doesnt look like a gt3. is it just because of the wing?

anyone feel the same way?
