-Racetech Seats (full containment)
-Schroth gt3 harnesses
-GMG LMS harness bar
-GMG super low seat base kit
-GMG track speed lowering/alignment

Looks nice. No brake upgrades? That's a lot of "go fast" parts, and also hoosiers. If I were running hoosiers, I'd certainly be looking at the brakes as well. Does the lowering mean the 20's no longer fit?

Any issues with the rear wheel inner barrel contacting the control arm or brake line?

The car has the Brembo Endurance pads and fluid ! i forgot to mention that.

The lowering does not affect fitment of the 20s. It is a 10mm drop followed by caster, camber and toe settings front and rear.

no issues. This is believed to be the only wheel that clears without issue.

Not even to reverse the bolt connecting the lower control arm to the hub?

Are these identical widths and offsets to the stock GT3 wheels?

are u ABSOLUTELY certain and you are the actual mechanic who put the wheel on the car?

i have that exact wheel, 4 sets.
the lower control arm bolt will not clear, needs flipped and shaved, and even then the clearance is 3mm or so.....

my 991 is iron brakes.

Ts20 is not an endurance pad. It's a mildly agressive street pad that can be used on track. For an intermediate driver they are probably not agressive enough on track. Re10 is the race technologies endurance pad and it's very good.

I spoke with the tech. He said the rear camber bolt was close, but not interfering. He shaved 3 threads off the bolt just to be safe.

^ sounds about right. no shave i got .75 mm clearance.
i used a jet nut and flipped it, shaved it, so better. but if you hit a curb HARD, it will scarp the barrel

thats what the 997.1 cup did to my fronts.

I guess there was a bolt that had to be flipped but there had to have been an inch clearance. Crazy how much flex you can get out of a wheel

With what I might ask, Tires? Front & Rear 19" sizes and brand? 235/40 or ???? 325/30x19 or ???

As for the "only" 19" rim, . . . . over steels, . . . not, I believe true. Forgeline is offering a 19" which may, kind'a clear even PCCB's, but it is a close call. FWIW, in my experience it wasn't the rear steering bolt/knuckle, but the (easy fix) rear brake hose bracket that might be the 1st clearance issue with a 19" barrel.
