I think the discs/rotors for PCCBs are now bigger than they were on the 991.1 (and GT4?).
Plus many GT3s and Rs etc maybe don't actually get driven much.
Saw a guy with a 991.1 Carrera at a meet recently. He had PCCBs. I asked him if he'd had issues with stones getting caught etc. He said not. I had a good look and there was decent clearance between his calipers and the wheel barrel.
Front discs/rotors are now 410mm on PCCBs for the 991.2. Pretty sure they weren't that big previously.

I think the GTS comes with either the Carrera S or the Turbo S wheels. I'm wondering if anyone knows if they both have the same clearance? The Carrera Sport wheel, as a 5 spoke, looks like it would have more clearance, but I can't find that measurement,....anywhere. Anybody have any idea?

Don't know about the Carrera S wheels.

Ive had zero issues with my GT4 in over 8k Miles of street and track use. I do run HRE P101 and swapped them out within a day or two of delivery.

The Forgeline fronts are 21.05#, and the rears are 22.85#, weighed on the scale at the UPS depot.

I have scratches on both front wheels (and, presumably, both front calipers). They don't really bug me all that much, but of course I wish they weren't there.
The only way they would bother me is if the wheel's integrity was compromised. I've seen the same scratches on a GT3 RS, so it's a matter of 918-sized brakes in 20-inch factory wheels. I would be very interested in deflectors that might help here (a friend was saying he did something like this for one of his rally cars, and that they worked), or a list of aftermarket wheels that avoid the problem. Though I typically prefer factory wheels, Flickroll's wheels look great on his car. I prefer them to the stockers all day long.
