For you guys with the rubbing issues you might double check your caster. For some reason I find most shops set it too far forward and it causes rubbing. A few degrees can make a huge difference in rubbing and feel. Too far forward and the car feels heavy and less responsive.
Just days away from finishing this year and a half long project. Just waiting on the tail and rear bumper to be painted and off to the track for a shake out. Installed bulbs in the fog light sections for additional brake lights not that I plan on using them much.
No worries, I'm looking for new wheels for mine, think I've just settled on Gemballa Lemans! Just got to wait for a set, there is a set in the States for sale on here, but nothing in the UK!
What size did you go for? Have you got a build thread anywhere?
Sounds a decent spec already, will be awesome I bet with coilovers and big reds
Chris, keep meaning to do a proper build thread but nothing as yet...
The Gemballa's don't come up often but be patient and you'll get a set, great wheel and period correct for our cars.
Mine are 8x18et50 and 10x18et52 which fill the arches perfectly with no rubbing.
Wheels have 225x40 and 265x35 tyres.

Cheers, fit is really good on that setup
Hopefully won't be too long, currently got Eta Krones on it now. They look decent, so I'm in no rush, just prefer the Lemans and a lot easier to clean!
Why can't I be happy with just one 964, now I'm looking at classifieds for a silver car with red leather and a set of gemballa wheels! This is some sort of addiction.....help needed.

In the other threads on here, it would seem that around 4 degrees of caster is what most alignements are, and it results in the wheel being there. I think its just a consequence of the early cars being sensitive to offset of 18" wheels.
