My son and I are exactly the same. (that's good and bad...like watching yourself grow up again)
My daughter...she reminds me of some of the crazy girlfriends I used have.
Love them both for who they are...but notice I didn't take her to C&C

...I have it on good authority from people I know with cup cars that the rear wheels were 9.5 inch with ET68. These were fitted with 21 mm spacers as standard by the factory. Up front they had 8 inch wheels but no spacers (sorry I can't find the offsets at the moment but would guess they are 55). The cup car wheels were not mags like the RS...and if you've seen videos of them racing, you'll understand why they sacrificed weight for strength

For the 'stance' on these RSs, not only are they running negative camber, with lower ride height, the rear wheels can be spaced too all with the help of the arches rolled too.
As for the Blue RS, god I love Maritime blue on my car!

Love the color, makes me miss my old Audi S4 in "Nogaro Blue" even more.
Nogaro blue would look awesome on a 964 IMHO.

I can't stop looking at these photos! Everything about it is just perfect.
I was thinking about what I'd give up to own that car, but it was getting silly so I stopped.
I guess one can dream.

The RS has spacers on as standard for the Magnesium Rims. I have a set of Cup, Cup1's the widest alloy with rediculous sized spacers on the back to fill the arches on the N-GT.
Will be getting the cars out for the London meet on Sunday so will take some pics to illustrate the differences.
That Maritime Blue car is sublime!
Edited - No spacers on front on my cars

Soooo, inspired by the Maritime Blue RS, I'm going for spacers.
But I'm told by my mech that the 7mm shims are the biggest I can go on the original bolts. Will 7 mm make much of a diff in terms of looks for the rears?

I would strictly advise against 7mm spacers!!! These are not safe as they completely cover up the hub center ring....leaving no centration for the wheel.
Use either 3-4mm spacers or 12mm+ spacers with their own center ring.

'Flamesuit on': I think I am one of the few that doesn't like spacers on the 964, I think it makes the rear wheels look awkwardly positioned vs the bodies centerline. I've tried 15mm on the rear and immediatly took them off again....

I think your mech is right acsgp, up to a point. yes you can use 7mm with the existing bolts, However what evoderby is saying is that the spacer would cover the wheel hub location centering ring and therefore the wheel would be supported by the bolts only, and not with the help of the ring. Evoderby point is safer and would be advised.
I am one of the others that doesn't like spacers for me its due to the unsprung weight increase and not from a cosmetic point of view. But its all just a personal preference. The safety point from Evoderby about 7mm spacers should be adhered to though.
love the pics though

yes heavier and bigger generally,
But put a wheel on a hub, bolt it on and its supported by the hub (which takes the load and wheel bolts just hold it on). A 7mm spacer fills the area to the edge of the hub so mounting a wheel has no support from the hub and the wheel bolts take the load. I understand this is the issue with 7mm spacers. Smaller than 7mm is ok as the wheel will still use some of the hub for load, and large ones have their own substitute hub to mount onto and to take that important load.
