That is great. If I can find a good 964 I would like it to sit like yours does (of course with the front a bit lower :P ), so its great to hear that this car is somewhat well built for a good trouble free stance.

Looks good Chris. The 993 door handles work well with the LM's. The chrome rose goes well with the polished rims...

You look low enough to me but good luck, sure it will look great.

Looks like you've used bolts and not studs, can you reveal what you've done?

So 18x8's and 9.5's aren't available new anywhere? I found a couple of websites that list them for sale. I wonder what would happen if I tried to order a set?

V6-R - I've used "Tuner" nuts with an internal key. These are more slim-line because the socket fits into, rather than on the outside of the nut.

When we researched the re-drilling it was decided to not countersink the holes, keeping as much metal as possible between the holes! Thats why I needed slim-line nuts

Merle - As far as I know you cant get these sizes anymore. I searched the world for my 4th wheel and it was only when the lads on this forum mentioned an 8x18 at Tire Rack that I was able to complete the project. If companies have them as listed they propably need to update their website (i.e. Vivid racing etc )
