      Thanks for the comments. Quite a few different views on the car all around haha but some similar. As far as reducing the camber...Not likely because to fit a 19x13 with a -20 offset.....yea lol. And as far as the fronts, they MAY get spaced in the future. Tbf the pics don't do it much justice.

        If you ever decide to sell those wheels, I call dibs on first right of refusal.

        My widebody car would swallow those rear wheels.

            I find it hard to believe those are 19x13 -20. In fact, I know they arent 19x13 -20.

            19x12 +20 will poke slightly on a WB car which is 1" wider each side. So 19x13 -20 on a widebody car would poke almost 2 1/2"....... you have a NB car

            And you said you bought these from DPE whom I know keeps their offsets secret and so if they sold you WB fitment I am guessing they are 19x12 +35 or something along those lines. That would be aggressive GT2 fitment.

            Just sayin......

              There will always be someone driving something nicer than yours. Just don't park next to that guy!

                    Although im sure what your saying is probably true, those are the final offset specs the shop gave me on the wheel (besides the width which is 13in measured myself). Whether they are accurate or not is beyond me since I haven't calculated it myself. The wheels were made to be an aggressive fitment for a widebody car. Thanks for the info.

                        Just an honest critique...but who the hell measured the wheel fitment???

                        The front needs about another 1.0'" to 1.5" to match the rear poke.

                        Nice ride though.

                          Right, if you measured from outer edge of wheel to outer edge of wheel you would be 1" too wide. So they would be 12" and like I said whoever gave you those offset numbers is wrong. Just trying to help you not get clowned when you are telling people what you have and someone around knows his stuff and throws it back in your face.

                            Overall I love it, but the camber in the rear makes it look cheap.

                            There is such a thing as too much

                              I am giving it time to digest but for starters that "GT" badge is quite off center, the GT2 kit looks cheap as expected and the wing is simply off in a narrow 996.

                              I like the tint on the headlights and the tinted LED tailights.

                              For a stanced car and being a 996 is quite good, the stretch on the rear tires is nice, the wheels are good and the rear camber although exagerated for anything works well for show.

                              Perhaps I could live with everything but the wing has to go, GT3 or GT3RS wing would be best, any interior shots?

                                @ Karl: Thanks. You may have Pm's in a second.

                                Funny you mention the wing . No interior shots as it's stock for now.
