I'm not sure if any of you will ever need this, but if you need measurements for making custom wheels and minimizing clearance from the spokes to the caliper anywhere you're going to need measurements.

997 GT3 Brake Ducts

Idk how well this works but they’re cheap and I saw this on @owenxguo ‘s car on IG.

I’m still working out what parts need to be modified, a couple of tabs, drill some holes, and a bit of a trim for the tie rods, and some vinyl coated metal zip ties and this should be good to go.

Will these be available to personally 3d print

No these are actually Porsche 991 (997) GT3 parts. They’re cheap though, $30-$50 for both depending where you shop from. I actually ended up buying three pairs.

Interesting adaptation @kitkat and likely to be functional, but I'm curious about one aspect... isn't that control arm to which you attached the brake ducts movable upward and downward? Do you think there's enough spacing to allow for such movement?

I cycled through the suspension stroke to the degree I could with the suspension still in place and it seems to clear fine. What doesn’t clear is contact with the tie rod it just gently rubs, I will run it for a week and then dismount, see where the rub points are and trim.

I’ll provide a DIY trim guide later on, I also plan on attaching this with metal zip ties instead of nylon ones.
