Default BBS Centerlock wheels 2010 GT3 brake and slick clearance pictures

Hi everyone,

Here are some pictures of us test fitting the BBS Center lock wheels with Michelin slicks on a 2010 GT3.

BBS asked us to test fit and measure clearances to the PCCB brakes.


















Thanks for looking.
John

What's the overall diameter (or rotations per mile) for those slicks?

Is there track rubber (not necessarily slicks, but DOT R in 18's or 19's) that matches the factory sizes exactly?

The Cup slicks work well on the 997.1 and 997.2 GT3, no dashboard errors. They even work in 2005+ Boxster and 2006+ Cayman.

It is nice to see BBS on 18" that cleat the PCCB.

It seems to me those wheels are 18" centers and the Rohrl 24hr car has 19" centers?

fantastic. do gt3.2 and gt3.2 rs both use the same 18x9 and 12's? i'm assuming the only difference is the offset? i've seen gmg gt3 (reg body) cars stuffed with the same as or wider rim/tire combinations than the wide body rs...maybe somebody can educate me on the bonus of having the widebody of an rs when they use the same width rims...are wider tires used on the 9's and 12's on the RS(or 10's and 12's, if considering the wide carbon fenders than GMG races with and is used on their street gt3's)
thanks in advance!

The wheel looks very nice,

but it would looks PERFECT if the wheel have 19inch diameter with larger diameter central spoke.
I mean not 19inch but using this same 18inch center.

Do BBS had any plan to make a larger diameter center spoke for 19inch wheel ?

Hey man. I own a 997.1 Gt3rs with PCCB and i have been dying to find slick wheels for it. Could you please tell me the exact model of those. It would be a life-saver. I noticed you have the 5 bolt model.

Thanks in advance.


Best regard
