That has to be the all-time most sinister looking 928 picture with those big meats on the passenger-side being shoved up into the fender-wells:
Awesome looking car!
The driver-front tire reminds me of my last set of fronts on my racecar where I wore the insides down to the cords on both. I think I may have too much camber at -2.5.

Ya -2.5 is alot.....I'm running right about -2.0 in the front and around 1.7? in the rear...I'll have to look at the specs....once we got the air pressures right (37hot for R888's) the tires were almost even temps....only 10 degrees hotter on the inside...which just tells me I need to drive HARDER... :>)

Wanted to report back that I've got new tires on the front and the wheels/tires all swapped around to the setup I'll be running for a bit.
265's on 10's all around. I really like it. Haven't driven too aggressively, but I never do on the street anyway. So far no issues with rubbing, tramlining, or anything else unusual.
The current setup:
Front: 18 x 10, ET65: 265/35 - 18 with new Kumho Ecsta SPT's.
Rear: 18 x 10, ET40: 265/35 - 18 with old Pirelli P7000's.
When I get the budget for new rear tires I'll decide whether to go wider in the back or not. Right now the 265's are filling out the rear fender wells pretty good, so may stay with the 265's.

And still need to replace my steering rack, rack bushings, check all suspension related parts like the tie rods, and get an alignment.
Budget is tight right now, but I'm hoping I can take care of all of this sooner then later. I also have the motor mounts and tranny mounts to go in, so once done with all that it should be rolling pretty nicely. Then if I decide to keep it long term I'll be looking into shocks/springs.
