Will OEM hollow wheels fit with bigger calipers?

Will OEM hollow wheels fit with 6-piston 996GT3 6-piston calipers or will spacers be needed?

Just, If I remember correctly it is extremely tight... would be worth running a 5 or 7mm spacer on the front anyway, keeps the understeer at bay!!!

Stock 996TT wheels are fine with 997TT steel brakes front and rear,and of course 996Gt2/3 brakes all around...they look awesome...

You would think? Porsche had to know some people would like the Twist but want better brakes. I like the look of the stock twist, esp. the high polished chrome.

Mulholland996TT is infamous around these parts

While we are on this topic, does anyone know if there is any way brembo gt's will fit under the twists? Where are the clearance issues on those, as my friend currently has them fitted under 18" Techart Daytonas.

No problems with the stock wheels and 6-piston 350mm GT3 brakes. No spacers needed.
