What are the wheels in your avatar?

Mark, you could put your 16x8 ET52.3 rears on the front and see what you think.

Tried that in '97 on my '83 euro: stuck out too far by far.

So do you current 18x8 et 50 928'er's think I'm safe at 24.5 middle-fender height with the same wheels? I plan to DE this car much more & worried about it sticking out too far & rubbing fender lip.

Thanks (credit card in hand, ready to order wheels......)

...be careful...
You put a shark too close to the ground and you can hit the a/c compressor and put a hole in your engine block...or in the best scenario, just break the a/c comp. harness.

Mark,
Why don't you raise it up to 25 1/8" to solve the possibly too low situation? Then you have a height that works for others and still have a low CG?
