Temp wheels
Thought I would post a pic of the wheels installed. I am bummed as I thought the wheels were built to spec for my car... unfortunately, they don't work as the brake calipers scrape on the barrels.
Only option is to go to a 21" which 1) means a harsher ride and 2) Michelin doesn't make a +size tire to match for the fronts Just wasn't what I was hoping for when paying for forged monoblock wheels. I think they look awesome though.

Perhaps using spacers might help?

Vellano Forged Monoblock.
First M6 they have tried to build them for. Didn't work. It happens a lot. HRE took 3 tries to get a 991 Turbo S right. Happens to the best of them, except 1) this car has been out for a while where the 991 Turbo hadn't and 2) the only fix may be to go to a 21" wheel. That probably won't fly.

spacers won't help.. the barrels need a larger diameter.
21" will take care of it.. just not sure I want to give up ride quality.
