wow, that is a true resource right there. Very comprehensive. Thank you Jetta. Looks like I will probably need a 10mm (min) as stated earlier.

Any good rennlist reference/resource for getting those spacers made up?
I'd be much more comfortable rolling fenders than messing with oil lines. Mine have been trimmed and rolled. You'd be hard pressed to know anything has been done until you park it next to a stock 964. Just sayin.

any chance of dropping a pic? No worries if it's a hassle. Honestly if it's hard to tell I'd be open to it..it just scares me is all.

Agreed! Mine are trimmed and rolled as well. Makes fitment so much easier.

I've rolled the fenders on several cars. Use the right tool(s) some heat and go slow. I had mine done when my car was taken down to bare metal. But no matter what, rolling fenders is way less invasive than going at oil lines

I'll drop some pics in the next few days..but I was able to get the car lowered and rears installed with 11mm of spacers. Fronts fit right in. No rubbing noticed as of yet. Car looks amazing, I am very happy. Wheels all needed new valve seals but otherwise they are amazing.
