like mooty said offset doesnt change. It is the caliper size clearance issue if you are going 18s. For example, OZ 18s wont fit. For 19s 5 lug wheels, just make sure it clears pccb size. That should clear all gen2 steel/pccb - probably less issue compared to 18s

I got my parts from suncoast. Make sure wheel bearings magnetic side faces the speed sensors.

Why would it be different for 5 lug?

Trakcar - u didnt miss anything. You are right. I was just talking about cheap OZ 18s.. non clears for 5 lug converted gen2 cars. Only 19s clear for OZ 5 lugs.

Custom 18 wheels will fit obviously..

I think 24chromium ordered 18 inch 5 lug OZ for his gen2... wouldnt fit. I tried ordering OZ challenge 18 5 lug.. only clears 997.1 steel brakes. Whats the caliper size on gen 1 steel - it is the top to bottom length that doesnt fit... not the width or distance to the spokes i think.

On my CCW, i barely clear top/bottom length of calipers in the front.

OZ Challenge 18" Center Locks fit PCCB. Not sure why they would not as PCCB yellow and Steel Red calipers are the same and both PCCB and Steel rotors are 380mm. Maybe some of the other 5 lug OZ wheels will not fit GT3 and RS cars. OZ Challenge also has 5 lug wheels too.

CCW is another great option for wheels...Forged and right under $3k.

I wanted OZ challenge 18s for 5 lug setup but I was told caliper wont clear. I was bummed out. WHy does CL version clears and 5 lug doesnt clear. Pointless to find out as one of RL member tried already.

My only affordable option at with time contraint was CCW. John was great delivering to CA in 2 weeks. He even next day over nighted for me all ready to go. For now, Ill get more CCW as it fits my budget for 18s.

997.1 cast iron brakes are 350mm, not the 380mm of PCCB.

997.2 they're both 380 I think, when they went to the two piece rotors.

Well done Targa Tim ......and I must say those wheels are Uber sexy. If anyone is looking for a narrow body set just like these (also in 5 lug and 19inch)....PM me.

Cheers and Happy Canada Day July 1st,
