Default 18" O.Z. Alleggerita

Do these clear PCCB's on a .1 GT3? I cannot seem to find the answer in previous threads.

Thanks

Or better yet, is there a definitive list of all the 18" wheel models that do fit 997.1 PCCB? From searching I am aware of these two that appear to fit:

CCW C10
Finspeed F14


Anyone know others? Perhaps we could document all known options in this thread?

BBS E88's fit. However, I am looking for a second set, preferably one piece.

Hi Jeremy-

All of our models will clear the PCCB's. Let me know if you have any other questions.

BR,
Daniel

The 18" OZ Alleggerita do not clear PCCB.
I know this because I had a set of those wheels for my C2S. They would not fit my GT3.

I bought a set of 18" OZ Challenge wheels.
They clear the PCCBs. Barely.

PCCB caliper size of 997.1 is same as gen 2 steel/PCCB. SOmeone on this board tried on gen 2 (after 5 lug conversion) and couldnt clear it. I ordered it then cancelled. I wish OZ Alleterita fits as I think they are bang for your buck type of track wheels.

CCW is the cheapest forged custom wheels. Not cheap in quality but just price wise. Finspeed/Forgeline/Joebloged are prettier wheels.

Dont forget HRE series.. yes they cost a lot but so does BBS e88.

Johnwb = how the heck did you manage to mount the wheels without even touching the calipers?! Skill!

Thanks for all the info. It was exactly what I needed. One the wheels that do not fit or barely fit (challenge), could this clearance be improved with adding factory 5mm spacers (like the ones on the rear)?

I wouldn't use a spacer with track wheels. The different metals expand at different rates. I have seen a Mini blowing studs off his when he used spacers.

Do it right, spend the money and get some good track wheels (even if they are used) and don't risk yours or other peoples safety over a few dollars.

Thanks for the response. However, I am not sure that it is entirely accurate in our situation. For reference, the factory uses 5mm spacers on the rear of all .1 GT3's. They bolt on top of the brake rotor and between the wheel hub. They do not seem to have a problem with them, for track use. Those same spacers can be used on the front.

The factory spacer is an option. If Porsche intended for the rear wheels to be sitting out 5mm further then the wheels are designed to they would have made the wheels with a different offset.

My car didn't come with them, although I am running 7mm in the front and 15mm in the rear for the street only, as I like the look of the wheels flush with the fender. Spacers are fine for the street, but not safe for the track.
