Default Inside diameter 18" wheels clearing PCCB?

Does anyone know which inside diameter is required for an 18" wheel to clear the PCCB calipers on a 997.1 GT3? Interested in a set of ATS GTR Motorsport wheels but have not seen whether they have been used on PCCB cars before. Inside diameter is 44 cm.

Not sure about ID, but for 5 lug, just get a set of 18" CCW's and forget about it. Fits PCCB, lightweight, forged, and cheap compared to the others.

I have 18" Fikse and they clear, i will measure when off the car but if you called them i am sure they will give you the inside diameter.

Yep CCW 9x18 and 12x18 has proper fit they are top quality forged, no big overhead so the price is only $2900! Wish they made center locks though.

16.96", be aware that some wheels can have an even larger inner diameter on the inner edge, and a smaller inner diameter near the outer edge that won't clear the PCCB calipers.

Another measurement necessary is the distance from the calipers to the wheel spokes. This measurement I don't have, but most wheels clear this distance.

Thank you very much! Should (in theory) have 3 mm clearance then and it is then worthwhile to take the trip to test them on the car

Probably would if I lived in the US - after shipping, customs & taxes the CCW's cost more than a set of BBS E88...

Many thanks for the offer - would be an interesting measurement to have to see if the wheels that fit PCCB have similar clearances, but not absolutely necessary as NJ-GT provided a useful measurement

Wheels are custom-made on order by ATS Motorsport and I have not been able to find any general spec for the wheel. Will investigate further when I have a further look at this particular wheelset, but I can recommend contacting ATS Motorsport if you want to know more - Michael Timm answered me within a couple of hours on first contact!

Thanks for the warning, but I have seen that several uses 11" rear on the .1 and for the price on these I am willing to try
