I read somewhere that the aircooled 911 body shell was something like 3 cm off center from left to right compared to the actual chassis

Looking at my 964 I clearly notice that the wheels are more inwards on the right side compared to the left side and I would like to know if anyone can confirm that

Yes, the 964/993 are off-center, wheels are closer to the fender on the driver's side. I've heard it's to compensate for driver weight but have no idea if that's accurate.

Get out…. Really?? That’s info I need to have because I always thought it was strange that the clearance seemed different from side to side- especially the rear.

My 964 is also offset as described. I had an '89 3.2 Carrera that also had the offset. My mechanic told me that's typical.

Huh- I wonder if Rhd cars are offset in the other direction?

+1, but keep going. You're raising the value of mine and the other straight ones!

I heard this so long ago I can't remember the source but here's a couple...

go out and measure yours
In back the easiest and most obvious is on the inside between wheel and chassis but between wheel and lip also shows, every single one that I have measured, (about a dozen +/-) has ~ .25" less clearance on the inner right and ~.25" less on the outer left

seats/steering are another off kilter spot

Holy **** this just blew my mind. I was convinced that when I reinstalled my front subframes and suspension I had installed it off center due to the differences in front wheel to fender clearance... this is good news! Thanks RL.
