18" BBS E88 on NB 997.1 GT3 with PCCB question.
Did a search and couldn't find any info.
I am purchasing a set of BBS E88s for my 2007 narrow body GT3 from a fellow RENNLISTER.
18x9 fronts and 18x12 rears
My car has PCCBs.
Will the PCCBs clear the 18" BBS E88s?
If anyone has done this please let me know. All I have seen are Steel brakes with 18" BBS E88s.

Watch out as we stopped using those wheels a few years ago. They're not really intended for the street and _always_ suffer from leaks and need some work on the street in terms of sealing;( They will fit though. We've used them before a few times
Great wheel... not super-light and not DOT approved either. Leaky!

And stay away from the MAG center ones too.. I'd honestly go with something that is better suited for the street (and a one piece at that) which also has TPMS sensors in mind too..

Thanx Alex, trakcar, and izzone for the replies.
If anyone else has any experience with the BBS E88s, please chime in.
Looking at 18" wheels for street wheels.

I have two sets of BBS E88s in the same sizes you mentioned (mine are, for sale actually, but please don't bust me for hijacking a thread). They are great track wheels, but not intended for street use. These were ordered new from BBS in Oct 08 for a 997.1 GT3 with PCCBs. Run them with Hoosier R100 sized 250F and 305R. They see track day and DE use only and I won't even think about using on the street.
These are the forged aluminum, black centers, polished outers, 5 bolt dedsign. High quality and very light. Make certain the wheels were built for the PCCBs since fitment is very tight.

E88 can be configured many ways to fit your car. depeonds on your camber, ride ht and such.
