C'mon, April Fools is over. You don't seriously mean they would mess with you for something so petty??? How do they check that -
"spray meter"?

If I lived there, I would spent most of my time in the pokey.

The way I see it, you won't have rubbing or fender touching issues in the front with the stock 4x4 ride height. The Porsche suspension in the front is set in such a way that under load the top of the wheel gets tucked in the wheel well. It seems that with the current ride height there will be enough room to tuck the the wheel under load. Once you lower it though, then you will have issues.

The other problem with this offset, as someone mentioned above, is overspray. And not just water when it rains, but dirt and small rocks when it's dry. Those little suckers will sandblast your paint and I'm sure you don't want that.
