Confused about wheels (PCCB/CL/Track)

Hey folks I'm confused about what wheels will work and provide clearances for PCCBs with CL and provide room for a bit of camber. Can I run 9"/12" and if so what are the best offsets to shoot for? Or should I stick with 8.5/11 with OEM offsets?

Thanks much,
Mark

researching- some use 18” wheels but they are tight with calipers. I’ll stick with 19” and shoot for GT2 size and offset. This will add the right poke and tire options.
Now just need to find some wheels- OZ have affordable options, just need to order/build/ship.

unrelated topic, but many have voiced that PCCB's do not hold up well after repeated track use. Might want to replace the rotors with steelies for that.

Agree- have read the same. I also hear that as long as you keep >50% pad life and run cool down laps they do pretty well. Pads are in great Shao as this was a garage queen. In time I’ll go for a steel swap should this be more dedicated track beast.

Just picked up some new OZs with Cup2 so should offer a good package for Track- not click or R7 but should offer loads of grip/fun!
