Default Wheel options for 991.1 GTS with CL? - does 19" fit?

Hey guys, I am considering getting a second set of wheels for the track this year. I have read threads of people using GT3 wheels on the 991.1 however there is a bit of an offset variance on the front which doesn't appeal to me much. Has anyone heard of a 19" wheel clearing our calipers? 19" should offer more track tire options. What have you guys bought for a second set of CL wheels?

The GT3 people do it, even with ceramics. Aftermarket wheels, of course.

Are you guys sure about that with the 991?
I heard/read that only some 19" wheels will fit, most actually tent to have the wheels inner barrel rub against the suspension ball joints...

Just when you thought there was a consensus... lol

OEM Porsche 19" work fine on 991.1 GTS wide body offset (5lug of course). I would assume same would apply for 19" CL if similar dimensions to the 19" OEM wheel.

I have also heard that there may be a different taper on the older 19" CL wheels. If anyone has actually fit 19" CL's please post or PM me. Interested in specs/wheels used.

Thanks guys

Yeah that's what I read too.
But I think the above replies are probably referring to the newer ones.
I know for a fact 18" won't fit, but for 19"s I'm going to have to defer to those with first hand experience.
I'd like to know too.
