Default Porsche 996 calipers (what size wheels) B4 coupe

Hey all,

So the rebuild of my beloved 16v coupe has begun (build thread to follow once I start getting stuck in fully)

I am starting to gather required parts while bits are getting powder coated and built etc. One thing on the list is brakes. I have a pair of boxster S 986 rears with brackets etc and I have a set of mk2 focus RS 324mm discs. Because i can't do a mock up as i have no suspension parts i was wondering what size wheels i can get away with? I have a set of 16" BBS V8 8" wide that I'd like to put on. I have the adaptors already that will push the wheel out 20mm which I've been told is required anyway while fitting 986 calipers. I've mocked the setup using the inside wheel and it clears the inside easily by about an inch (wheel to caliper). In my head it fits but before I send the calipers off for a rebuild I want to be sure and if anyone else has done it using 16" wheels.

Thanks in advance
