If your contention is that taking a car that is capable of 150mph and reducing to 45mph, then I think that would fall in the category of seriously compromised.
The OP was asking if 8 & 10's with 26mm offsets will work on a NB964.
If you're answer is yes but it will require modifications to the fender lips, oil lines -6deg of camber, the car will trammel, follow ruts in the road, handle like crap at any kind of speed, and potentially damage the fender liners and paint; I'm fine with that. Most Pcar shops won't even touch the work.
But to say sure it fits and have the OP find out the pain in a butt he has to go through after sinking $2k into a set of wheels and end up with a compromised car is misleading, and kind of a ****ty thing to do to another lister, when he could spend the same money on the right set of wheels and be done. I really don't give a rats *** what people want to do with their cars, but people come here for help and advice not to be lead down a dead end path.

Really, so you race your car around town with no regard for the speed limit? You're awesome!
I have 18x10 et32 with 255/35's on my car as we speak, fenders rolled, plenty of clearance everywhere, and I don't even need -3ş of camber. In which case you can take your hypothetical scenarios and keep them to yourself because you're wrong and you're the one doing a disservice to fellow members.

In the meantime, please try not to think so very highly of yourself. JR is VERY slow and only started racing last week, so do your best to be nice to him.

Everyone go out and crush your oil line and slap some 295's on that biotch, works like a charm!
Can you tell me where the OP asked about racing? Or how fast you guys are? I'm not seeing that part of the question.

We know, that was already answered with a bold NO. Then he asked again if 10 ET32 would fit, and some of us who have been down that path have already put in our .02.

Dude, chill.
Both Kai and I have said that you can get 8 & 10 s on a 964, you even quoted it, it takes some messing around to get it done; you yourself have rolled your fenders and obviously adjusted things to get it to work and your only running 255 with more offset and narrower tires than the OP.
The comments about running more than 3 degrees of camber where aimed running excessive camber just to get a wheel to clear. If you're not running 3 degrees, great, I would expect your car drive fine, wasn't talking about you. Your avatar looks cool to me.
The only conversation about racing was that 3 degrees of camber is serious racecar camber, and driving with that amount of camber on regular roads is a handful, for several years i drove my track car to the track, great on the track, sucked on regular streets. More than that kind of camber is a serious compromise.
Peace out...

Also, I've seen some "serious" racecars use upwards of -5 and -6 degrees of camber... unsafe? Or just unsafe because you've never run that much?
I've never run into driveability issues with my car. Aside from camber, the alignment falls within the factory specs. No odd driving issues, no trammeling, chasing cracks, or instability. An alignment done for track is going to have toe and caster settings completely different than what factory calls for, and contributes heavily to your twitchy ride on the highway... not the camber.

I've yet to see a road-race slick specified for -5 to -6 degrees of camber.
I'm at close to -3.5 up front and must drive the car VERY hard to get proper temp distribution on either R80s or R100s.
