Correct offset for 18" wheels?

What is the correct offset for 18" track wheels.

I have decided on:

18" x 9"

18" x 12"

What is the best offset for the track?

Im not sure if i should use the same offset as stock GT3 wheels as those are 19"


Help please. I need to order soon.

Also they can do any offset i want since the wheels will be made from blanks custom.

Just call up CCW and ask them what offset they've sold for the C10/C14 for the standard GT3, or just look in their gallery and ask them to give you the specs on the red 7GT3. They will know.

The wheels I had custom made from Fikse for my 997 GT3 are as follows:
Front 18x9 51mm offset.
Rear 18x12 64mm offset. This offset eliminates the need for the 5mm spacer.

Hope this helps.

Ok.

Im going to order:

18" x 9" 50º

18" x 11" 64º

Im going to go with 11" because i will not go wider than 315 and they are lighter than 12".

Thoughts?

My 18 x 11 Volk TE37's weight 20lbs, and the 18 x 9's weight 18lbs, so I would bet that a 18 x 10 is 19lbs and 18 x 12 is 21lbs.

What wheels are you going to get?
