Gt2 wheels from a 996 on a 986
Is there anyway to make it work?

Curious as well.

For f*#k sake, another 11 inch wheel question? Take it away JD.

Actually 12 in wide in the back. I know they won't work. I was hoping someone had something magical to say.

They were just such a good deal. |
You can't run 11's in the rear practically, Heres what you need.
The correct offset that allows a hair of space between the inside of the rim and strut. A lot of camber Serious spring rates with coilovers Have your fenders rolled Your wheel will stick out at least an inch, which is ok for autoX. Im not so sure youd want to drive like that on the street |
Impossible to fit a 12" mate so don't waste your cash & time.
I recently trial a set of 11" on the 986 with ET35 in the 19" category. They fit but there is MAX 2-3mm left between the (Dunlop /285) tire and the strut - doesn't worth dying only for a badass-looking wheel! Not only that, they are "lead" heavy on a Boxster. Can imagine a 12" incher I had to go all the way down to 9.5" ET40 with /275 to be 100% safe and without compromising performance (too much anyway). |
