Just updating the thread - new wheels & tires are installed and the alignment was just done today.

I went with:

• 15mm Rear spacers with the pressed in studs from Carl at 928MS
• Rear Wheel - 10x18 with 65 ET running 295/35-18 Nitto Invo (just tucks in nicely with the camber setting)
• Front Wheel - 8x18 with 57 ET running 235/40-18 Nitto Invo (rolled the front fender lips as an extra precaution)

Setup looks great - fronts and rears are now evenly pushed out to be just inside the fender edge and the view from the rear is great - nice, meaty, wide footprint.

Drove it up to my Indie today for the alignment. Even in the rain it drove great.

Sorry, no pics yet as they'll have it for a couple days as they get my A/C working and it's going to need a few parts.

Thanks for the input & advice on tire sizes, offsets, and alignment specs.

There was a nicely done 'vert at Frenzy, pics in related thread at top.

Are the pics the new wheels? From the specs I was expecting Carerra IIIs.

The most recent pics are the new wheels with larger rubber. Here are a couple more. The Carrera iiis are in a stack waiting to be cleaned up and sold if anyone is interested.

Pete,

Those wheels look really nice- they fill the wheel wells nicely and finish the job nicely.

What alignment settings did you go with in the end?

Sorry for the delay on the feedback - had to get the shop to send me the alignment report that they showed me when I picked up the car (their printer was broken).

Pretty much ended up with what you suggested Fred, but have a bit more negarive rear camber to tuck the meaty 295 rear tires into fenders with the 15mm spacers. Considering it's a convertible without the roof structure, it's pretty darn straight with a Total Thrust Angle of 0.01.

Drives very well now and haven't had any tire rubbing issues in the front or rear over the past 200 miles, even with some decent dips.

Thanks for all the help & advice.

Anyone need a set of Carrera Lightweights

Pete,

I run a similar rear camber that is fine when cornering hard in the bends but even with my n/a S4 motor I find the car struggles for grip away from the lights never mind with a force fed motor so will be interesting to hear from you how your 928 performs away from a standing start. That was why I suggested a max rear camber of 1 degree for your circumstance where hard cornering is not the mantra.

Looking at the photos of your rear end I doubt you need the extra camber for clearance purposes but as long as you are happy that is all that matters.
