Default Track tires / wheels options ?

Just curious to see if there are any options for track wheels and tires. Looks like OZ might have a set and maybe Forgeline, HRE ?

BBS like always is falling behind.

Anyone tried running 19s" ? Seems like you have more tires options.

Ill take my car to Forgeline to size it up for a set of wheels. I might go with GT1s again in charcoal.

Forgeline GA1R available apparently. Same offsets as 991 turbo I believe.

Two of the Forgeline 19s will clear cast iron brakes, will not clear PCCB brakes. For the 19s you will need to slightly bend a brake line bracket and flip the lower arm bolt with a thinner nut but it will clear. Have run several Auto-X s with that set up.

What tires are you running for the Auto-X s and how do they compare to the stock Cup tires. Mark

Hoosier a6s, 265/35 and 325/30, they take the car up a notch over the stock tires.

Do you have any pictures of your car with the 19" wheels.

I was talking to HRE and they confirmed that brake line bracket has to be bent to clear the drop center of the wheel.

Curious how much space is there between the bent bracket and the rim.
