Porsche 911 Carrera GTS 992.1 (2022–2024) Wheel Fitment Guide — 5-Lug
The 2022–2024 Porsche 911 Carrera GTS 992.1 — covering the Carrera GTS, Carrera GTS Cabriolet, Carrera 4 GTS, Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet, and Targa 4 GTS — is the last pure-ICE 992.1 GTS before the 992.2 generation moved to T-Hybrid power. This guide covers the 5-lug wheel configuration, which is a no-cost alternative to the centerlock wheels that ship as standard delivery on all GTS variants. If your GTS has centerlock wheels, see our separate 992.1 GTS Centerlock Wheel Fitment Guide.
The 5-lug GTS shares the same Carrera-family bodywork and wheel wells as the Carrera S, but has two critical fitment differences. First, the standard front wheel offset is ET50 — 3mm more outward than the ET53 used on the Carrera, Carrera S, and Carrera T. Second, and more importantly, the GTS ships standard with Turbo-spec 408mm front brakes. These larger calipers require a minimum 20″ front wheel. Unlike the Carrera S where 19″ front wheels work with the standard 350mm steel brakes, there is no 19″ front option on the GTS regardless of brake configuration — the standard 408mm steel brakes alone set the 20″ floor. All platform hardware is otherwise identical: 5×130 bolt pattern, 71.6mm center bore, M14×1.5 R14 ball seat lug bolts, direct TPMS, and rear-axle steering standard on all variants.
Our flush fitment options are designed to work without rubbing while maintaining proper clearance and everyday drivability.
Factory Wheel & Tire Configurations
The 992.1 GTS with 5-lug wheels has one standard delivery configuration and three optional upgrade packages. All share 20/21″ diameter — the 408mm Turbo-spec standard brakes make a 20″ front the hard floor for this platform. Note that the three optional upgrade packages (Carrera Classic, RS Spyder Design, Carrera Exclusive Design) use a front offset of ET53, which sits 3mm more tucked than the GTS standard delivery ET50. All configurations apply equally across all five GTS body styles.
Aftermarket Wheel & Tire Configurations
Every setup below has been confirmed by Apex Wheels’ 3D-scan verified 992.1 GTS fitment guide — the authoritative source for this platform. The GTS shares identical bodywork and wheel well geometry with all other 992.1 Carrera variants, and all setups are staggered front/rear, matching the factory configuration. All 20″ and 21″ wheels are confirmed to clear the rear-axle steering actuators, which are standard on all 992.1 GTS variants. 20″ is the hard floor for front wheels — the standard 408mm Turbo-spec steel brakes do not clear 19″ fronts.
The 992.1 GTS has a harder brake clearance constraint than the Carrera S. All 992.1 GTS variants ship standard with Turbo-spec 6-piston 408mm front brakes — the same caliper and rotor size as the 992.1 GT3. These require a minimum 20" front wheel, full stop. Unlike the Carrera S where 19" front wheels work with the standard 350mm steel brakes, there is no 19" front option on any GTS build — the 408mm standard brakes set the 20" floor regardless of whether the optional PCCB ceramics are fitted. Two further constraints apply to all 992.1 Carrera-family 5-lug builds: lug bolt seat type (Porsche uses R14 ball seat — confirm compatibility with aftermarket wheels before purchasing), and direct TPMS sensors that must be transferred or replaced when fitting aftermarket wheels.

Staggered Setup
Not Sure What Works for Your Build?
The GTS adds a critical layer of complexity versus the Carrera S — the 408mm Turbo-spec front brakes set a 20″ hard floor, and the ET50 front offset means some specs that work perfectly on a Carrera S will sit slightly differently here. Whether you’re after the widest possible rear tire, the lightest possible forged construction, or just a clean OEM+ setup, reach out and we’ll dial in the exact sizing for your build.
FAQ - Frequently Asked Questions
On the 992.1 GTS, centerlock wheels are the standard default delivery — the design is derived from the Turbo S and features a single large central nut rather than five individual lug bolts. The 5-lug wheel is a no-cost alternative selected at the time of ordering. There is no performance difference between the two configurations. The practical differences are: centerlock wheels cannot use wheel spacers and require a special torque tool for installation and removal; 5-lug wheels use standard M14×1.5 R14 ball seat lug bolts at 160 Nm and can accommodate spacers or stud conversions. Aftermarket 5-lug wheel selection for the GTS is significantly wider than centerlock, and winter tire sets are simpler to source. If your GTS has a single large central nut, you have centerlocks — see our separate 992.1 GTS Centerlock Wheel Fitment Guide.
The standard 5-lug GTS delivery wheel is an 8.5Jx20 ET50 front with 245/35ZR20 tires and 11.5Jx21 ET67 rear with 305/30ZR21 tires, finished in satin black with black center caps. The front ET50 offset is unique to the GTS — 3mm more outward than the ET53 used by the Carrera, Carrera S, Carrera T, and the three optional upgrade packages that also fit this platform. The rear ET67 is shared across the entire 992.1 Carrera family. Three optional 20/21″ upgrade packages are available: the Carrera Classic (992044660K), RS Spyder Design (992044660J), and Carrera Exclusive Design forged (992044660M). All three use ET53 front — 3mm more tucked than the GTS standard.
The 992.1 GTS ships standard with Turbo-spec 6-piston 408mm front brakes. These are the same calipers and rotor size as the 992.1 GT3’s standard steel brakes — substantially larger than the 350mm brakes on the Carrera and Carrera S. The 408mm front calipers physically cannot be cleared by a 19″ front wheel. This is confirmed by Apex Wheels’ 3D-scan brake clearance data: the 408mm front caliper requires a minimum 20″ front wheel. This constraint applies to all 992.1 GTS builds regardless of whether the optional PCCB ceramics are fitted — the standard steel brakes alone set the 20″ floor. The only way to run 19″ fronts on a GTS would be to replace the factory brakes with an aftermarket kit whose calipers are sized to fit under 19″ wheels.
All 992.1 GTS variants ship standard with 6-piston 408mm front / 4-piston 380mm rear steel brakes — the same specification as the Turbo (cast iron, red calipers). These are 58mm larger in diameter at the front than the 350mm steel brakes on the Carrera S, and result in the 20″ front wheel minimum. The optional PCCB ceramic brakes use 410mm front / 390mm rear calipers — also 20″ minimum, same as on the Carrera S. Both brake configurations are cleared by all three aftermarket setups in this guide. Apex Wheels 3D-scan verification confirms 20″ and 21″ clearance for the 408mm GTS steel brakes and 410mm PCCB ceramics.
Yes — completely interchangeable across the Carrera GTS coupe, Carrera GTS Cabriolet, Carrera 4 GTS coupe, Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet, and Targa 4 GTS. All share identical bodywork and wheel well geometry — the same unified wide body used across the entire 992.1 Carrera family. Drivetrain (RWD vs AWD) and body style have no effect on wheel fitment. The ET50 front offset and all other platform hardware specs apply equally to all five variants.
Yes — with one notable difference. The GTS standard 5-lug delivery wheel uses a front ET50 offset, while the Carrera and Carrera S use ET53. A GTS ET50 front wheel installed on a Carrera S will sit 3mm more outward than the Carrera S’s own ET53 front wheel — a very small difference that is imperceptible in most comparisons. The rear ET67 is identical across all 992.1 Carrera variants. The three optional upgrade packages (Carrera Classic, RS Spyder, Exclusive Design) all use ET53 front and ET67 rear, making them fully interchangeable across all 992.1 Carrera variants including the GTS.
Identical to all other 992.1 Carrera 5-lug variants: M14×1.5 lug bolts with R14 ball seat (spherical). The 992 uses lug bolts that thread into the hub rather than wheel studs with lug nuts. Most aftermarket wheels are designed for a 60° conical seat — running mismatched seat types prevents proper bolt seating and is a safety issue. Always confirm your aftermarket wheel’s seat type before purchasing and use matching M14×1.5 ball seat hardware. Torque specification: 160 Nm / 118 lb-ft for current black lug bolts standard on the 992 generation.
In practice, no — for reputable aftermarket wheel brands. Rear-axle steering is standard on all 992.1 GTS variants. Apex Wheels confirms all their 20″ and 21″ GTS wheels clear the rear axle steering actuators. Unusual inner barrel geometry or very narrow barrel profiles could theoretically create a conflict, so always confirm RAS clearance with the wheel manufacturer when ordering for a GTS. All three aftermarket setups in this guide are confirmed RAS-compatible.
Yes — the three optional OEM upgrade packages (Carrera Classic, RS Spyder Design, Carrera Exclusive Design) are all confirmed to fit the GTS 5-lug hub, confirmed explicitly by Suncoast Porsche. Factory take-off Carrera S or Carrera T wheels in these three designs also physically fit the GTS — same bolt pattern, same center bore, same diameter. The practical consideration is that those wheels use a front ET53 offset versus the GTS standard ET50, so they will sit 3mm more tucked at the front than the GTS’s own standard delivery wheel.
2022–2024 USDM. The 992.1 GTS family was announced June 23, 2021 and US deliveries began for model year 2022. The 992.2 GTS moved to T-Hybrid power for MY2025, making 2022–2024 the complete run of the pure-ICE 992.1 GTS. All five body styles — Carrera GTS coupe, Carrera GTS Cabriolet, Carrera 4 GTS coupe, Carrera 4 GTS Cabriolet, and Targa 4 GTS — were available across the full 2022–2024 production run.
