That first picture looks good. I seriously thought "eek, black chrome wheels" when I first saw them, but that looks good.

And man, no wonder you screwed up a tire, those things look like they stick out "pretty far" in the back. I would swap spacers before you drive anymore, to avoid F'ing up another high dollar tire.

Those rears do peak past the fender in that last picture. The 265's dont look bad. They look kinda like the dragsters do at 15,000 rpm....slightly conical on the rim. haha. It doesnt hurt performance in the slightest bit. Ive run them for quite some time and they grip perfectly and best of all theyre all season as opposed to pirelli's "system" series OEM.

There was a company "Broadfoot" or something but havent seen them in awhile. They sold flares that looked quite aggresive and would house your 295's.
I think your car is one of the better looking 944's out there. Very good looking. I love it when people make a car their own. Screaming for the LS.

The saga continues, sometimes I think God doesnt want this car on the road. In transit to my buddys shop, I completed F*cked the other tire $1000 tires are done for the count. I bought two new 265's the car still scrubs. I ordered new spacers last night 18mm. This is my last shot wish me luck. I hope our measurements are correct (fingers crossed). I will have some 1 1/8" spacers for grabs if anybody needs them. On a positive note the car did pass emissions Ordered a new dash cover too.

Ouch!

I hope I'm more fortunate then you have been. I got a killer deal on Bridgestone Potenzas that were new, and I would love to keep them. So what rear tires did you go with?
