What are the offsets and sizes of the wheels for a GT2 kit? I understand the old RSR's use 11x11 and 11x13.

The RSR wide body kit is wider than the turbo or C4s. Mine came from Getty Design and it easily fits 11" rims in front and 13" rims in the back.

Is yours the clubsport kit or the GT2 kit? Do you know the offset of your rims?

I wonder what the difference of 18x11 eta 14 and 18x11 eta 65 will be in terms of inches going outwards? I currently have 18x11 eta 65 and know that some wheels for the GT2 is 18x11 eta 14. If I use a spacer, how many inches will be needed? I think 1 inch IMO.

I have a 964 that had a 993 RSR kit added to it. I used replacement FRP panels instead of bolt-on extenders. The catalog was different 4-5 years ago. Given that I have the EVO 2 nose, I assume mine is "GT2". The offset on the 964 may be different than the 993 also. I had my wheels built to fit the car and don't actually know what the pieces are off the top of my head (Ryan at Jongbloed has all the records). I will have it listed somewhere in my records, but I'm not sure that what worked for me will work for you. You should measure/fit once the body panels are in place.

wide wheels

I restore and sell 3 piece 18" wheels. I specialize in Speedline, RH and OZ Racing. I can get an outer rim as wide as 5.25" and can easily make 13". I have built 10 & 12 for 993 TT GT2 and am attaching pictures. I currently have a set of 993 RS wheels here that could be resized to fit your application. jdorociak@gmail.com

1. You guys are all completely wrong. Better bodies did not make any of the aero parts listed in the specific images above.

2. The company's name is as listed. Rauh-Welt Begriff. The specific aero package is a modifed version of the GT2.

Beyond this the rear GT2 wing's upper element is not factory, it's been modifed / made custom to fit. NOTE : There is the LM variant and then the road car rear wing is different.

3. The owner's name is Nikai, of the company that is. He has specific custom wheels offsets for
his aero packages. His work is really good, but he also is expensive.

4. I think what the poster wants is a 993 GT2 aero package. These parts can be purchused here in the US. Possibly LM specification EVO - II generation.

5. Some might want to know why I know this, well firstly I live in the same preficture, ie Chiba and have lived in Japan for more then a decade, no to those who will ask I am not a English teacher and or Military, Next my facility is very close to Nikai's facility.

6. Cheers! Good luck, have fun on projects and going fast! =D
