991.1 Wheels - Thoughts on GT4 wheels or GT3 center locks


Recommended Posts

I have been tinkering around with my photos and I wanted to ask for opinions on GT4 wheels on a 991.1 or assuming the cost is not too crazy, upgrading to center locks and going for GT3 wheels. Has anyone tried the GT4's? I heard I would need spacers on the front wheels.

Suncoast : A 991 center lock conversion price is $5K and the price on the GT3 wheels depends on the ones you like the most, here the link to the GT3 wheels.

Center locks are a personal thing, some people love them some people don't like them so I guess is up to you.

Crickets... Here is the latest. No go.

Q1- can I use the GT4 wheels on my narrow body 991S?

The sizes are the same but the offsets are different so I wouldn't recommend it. The GT4 front wheels would sit 10mm farther inside the fender than your stock wheels and the GT4 rear wheels would be 20mm farther outside than your original wheels. Even if they did fit, the fact that the front wheels base would be 20mm narrower and the rear wheel base would be 40mm wider, it could result in a diminished driving experience with greater understeer in the vehicle.

Q2- can I upgrade to center lock hubs and get the GT3 wheels to fit in my 991S?

Unfortunately Porsche doesn't offer a center lock conversion for the 991... We have priced it out in the past as individual pieces and it was over $20k... I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be able to use the GT3 rear wheel though as it is 1.5" wider than you rear wheels.

Have you considered aftermarket wheels like HRE?
