Wheel and tire Recs for 991.2 GT3
Looking for lighter than stock wheels and tires for the track (DE) for 2018 991.2 GT3 with ceramics yellow calipers. Currently running 20 inch stock wheels. Will 19 inch wheels also fit over the ceramics? Have run Hoosiers in the past, but they don’t appear to be available yet. Are the Trofeos similar in character?
Any help appreciated.

Hey RJ,
HRE's R101 Lightweights will clear PCCB's in 19" sizing but it's a tight fit so you have to be careful with debris and rocks as there is potential for that scratching the inner barrels/calipers.
Just to compare apples to apples, the 20" R101 LW's save 27 lbs over the OEM wheels. If you translate that rotational weight savings and convert it it's as if you're shedding about 95 lbs from the car. Here are photos from my client who happens to be a fellow Rennlister:
