Default Early offset cookie cutters on late offset 944. Pics.
I have lots of negative camber on both ends and the tires are 225 50 15 Toyo RA1s. I found an unofficial "skidpad" and did a bunch of turns without any interference.

Pardon the Pep Boys fog lights. We all have weak moments.

I like the look. Now the car looks like it is actually using those big fender flares.

I might drop the front coilovers another 1/2 inch (based on these photos).

15" phonies.

A couple seasons ago I had 17" Boxster wheels as track wheels, but I don't need stagger and 15" tires are nice and cheap.

Looks good, your car is pretty low.

How much camber are you running? Any more pictures?

-2.75 up front, not sure about back, but at least 2.0.

This is "under load" at VIR a couple of weeks ago.

This is what my early off-set wheels looked like on a late off-set car.

Doesn't adjusting the camber like that wear the tires out fast?

The suspension is decidedly not-stock. Coilovers all around. Front camber plates allow camber changes beyond what you can do with the "eccentric" bolts. The rears get extra camber by being lowered.

Yes, it would wear out inside edges of tires if it was a street car only. But this car sees as many track miles as street miles, so the negative camber has a purpose.
