Yes, but be aware that this setup will work if your car is setup for it.

Meaning that your ride height and geometry may need tweaking in order for the wheels & tyres to clear everything properly.

I haven't seen this specific model on any Rennlister cars, however I have heard good feedback on other Kerscher models.

Thank you Betty for being very specific. I will need to buy new suspensions as my rear suspensions are extra low while the fronts seems to be OK...According to my mechanic, I'm running some weird suspension right now in which it's not for the 964, but it's for Porsche....weird from the previous owner hmmmm...

I really don't want spacers becox I dun want the car to vibrate/wobble...

Last question: suppose if this offset is still too aggressive fitted into my narrow body....I can still takeout the plastic wheel liners and roll the fenders for further clearance yea??? If u were here we should be discussing this topic tonight over drinks, my treat

Hi,

There is nothing wrong with spacers if they are correctly used with longer wheel carrier studs when over 5mm. I run 15mm rear spacers on track...

Removing the wheel arch liners isn't the best of ideas, however I and as have a few members have cut out sections that were causing rubbing.
Rolling the arch lips is of course an option, however old paint can crack even when pre heated.

Do you know what ride height you are attempting to achieve? Do you have a picture?

Good morning Betty!

Apologies for the late reply! The below pic is how I want my car to look exactly alike to! I asked around but nobody seem to work out what size and offsets they are! Thankyou very much! I have spacers right now on my Exige S for 2months now,,,,and I'm already considering to take them off already



I will only use the 964 for street use only. Thank you and please reply shortly! Hope once I settle with a correct offsets I will order them right away, can't wait!!!!

For the sake of stating the obvious - the car will handle badly at this height, geo and tyre size. This look is achieved with stretched tyres and suspension that will go very low.

You'd have to ask one of the dub guys here - not my sector.

Thankyou Betty! For the tire size and ride height I will figure them out locally, most important is that I can find the most suitable offset available in which must clear brake lines and oil lines and muffler clearance. Suppose the wheel and offsets you stated earlier will do? Thankyou!
