I installed an AP Racing kit, it's very good. The PCCB's are on the shelf.

Finspeed has a extreme brake option for this.

If you run 19" wheels over PCCBs, you will get a rock between the caliper and barrel of the wheel at some point. Period. Heck, I had one get stuck between my PCCBs and 20" wheels on my GT4. Not a big deal though; just cosmetic.

Thanks for the info,

I had the 3 piece Forgelines on my 2011 Turbo S, probably end up selling them and get a set of 20’s to mount tires on for occasional track use

I don’t think I’ll put the PCCB’s on the shelf as I only track the car 2-3 times a year

Hello,

Have you run the Toyo RRs yet? I also have a .2 RS and I am running 295F and 345R Hoosiers. Just wanted to get your impressions. Looking for a slightly more cost effective option.

thank you

Yes I’ve run them. I didn’t like them. They would not hook up anything like the Hoosiers do. I had a pro level driver friend drive the car for a few laps, he agreed that for whatever reason they were not gripping. I’d rather run Cup 2’s or Nankang AR1’s on the stock wheels. That being said, a lot of people love them on other cars, I may have had a bum set.

For a real cost effective option, I just ran a set of Perelli Ferrari Challenge takeoffs. WOW!! Took 3 seconds off my PR at my home track. Only did 4 sessions, and they still show good meat on them. We’ll see if I can get another full day out of them (4-6 sessions) in two weeks. If I can get 8-10 sessions out of them that will be a major win at $600 a set. So much grip!

Ive run the Pirelli take offs, got 2 good days out of each $600 set.
I'll never run Hoosier again, not enough quality for our heavy cars, failure after failure...

i’m with you on this, getting ready to order four sets. And the grip is phenomenal!

I never did put the 19” Forgelines on my 2016 or 2019 GT3RS,
both cars have PCCB’s and I don’t think the wheels would clear the brake caliper

You might get a 19” wheel on your 2016 GT3RS if you went for steel rotors and a different caliper

I believe that 19" Forgelines will fit over PCCBs.

What are the recommended width and offsets for 19” Forgeline + Hoosiers R7 which won’t rub?
