Default Attention 997's 18" with Lobster Claws!!!!

Fellow 911 Owners,

Forgive me if this is a repost but this is new information to us and we felt compelled to share with you guys.

We just installed a set of Brembo BBK 6 pistons 355x32 on a set of Porsche Lobster Claw style wheels. The calipers just barely fit but with splenty of room to run inner and outer wheel weights. I would highly suggest keeping the inside of the wheel clean once a month so just to keep from the dirt and dust building up and taking up the room left over between the bridge and the wheel barrel.

Here are some pictures for you guys.

Can't say about Lobster "Claws", but the Lobster Forks (like in the photos) only come in 19s unless they are knock offs.

I have no idea why you are posting this information on the 997 forum if you are referring to Caymans and Boxsters.

These are reps, my point is that most people who track their 911's usually want to run 18" wheels and now you can run 18" wheels with Brembo's 6 pot kit and have an OEM look

Happy Holidays!
