This 964 really makes me want orange front turn signals for my black car. Anyone that went clear have a nice OEM set kicking around?

Can you tell me what size wheels you went with? Offsets? Love how the car sits. I'm looking to get a set of wheels and am taking notes on different sizes with offsets. I want to go as wide as possible to get a wide lip. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks for the specs! Any rubbing issues in the front? Did you have to roll the fenders to fit wheels that wide?

nice to see a 911/964, possibly a bit neglected (sometimes things just become too much for previous owners), wind up in good hands and get a 2nd shot. nicely done!!

Thank you

I've done quite a bit of undocumented work since I made this thread as well including fabbing new flange ends on the shift tube (since the bushings blew out, not once but twice). Now with less play than when it was new, the shifter is now extremely accurate. I also replaced the heavily weathered (pitted) windshield with new OEM dealer glass including a new rubber windshield gasket. This job exposed a small rust spot creeping under the weather stripping in the common lower passenger corner of the windshield. On the "winter list" of things to do I plan on pulling front and rear glass, fixing that spot and possibly doing a sunroof delete since I'll be respraying that entire section anyway.

From my fiancé nearly crying when this heap came off the trailer (like "what the hell did you just buy" haha) to taking it on a 1500 mile road trip with her two weeks ago... it's like night and day.
