If you're running a squared setup, what width did you go with and how do you like it?

Hey, Ive also seen Tims video and i'm considering running the same set up on my 89 2.7 NA. Im currently running a set of late offset turbo dials so Id just need to source the early rears. I do not have a TB delete (yet) Do you know if the early 8 rears would fit directly on with my stock setup & camber? and did you have to roll your fenders? Thanks

The ET23.3 8" early offset rears will only fit on the rear of a late offset car if you run around -2 to -2.5 degrees camber, which works great for track/autox but will cause significant tire wear on a dedicated street car.. and if you do that you will also want to run early offset fronts to match, and the 8" early offset wheels wont fit on the fronts even with substantial -2 degrees negative camber (Ive tried and only the 7s will fit). Doing this may also require fender rolling.

You would be better off running late offset 8" fronts and late offset 8" rears to get a square setup that way. This is the setup in Tim's video (944 RS build). I would go that route if you want to retain close to factory camber settings.

Source: running early offset phone dials on my S2 and with substantial negative camber (my car is mostly for track/autox so this is ok for my use case)
