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?

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.

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.
