The car sits pretty low (on PSS10's in this photo) and is used primarily for spirited runs through the mountains and B roads. The only rubbing I get is on the front, inner guard, at full lock pulling into a steep driveway. Handling is spot on. Running Michelin PS4S's.

Do you have spacers in the rear?

Your 964 is essentially perfect. You've got it dialed.

No spacers front or rear. I did have to adjust the camber on the rear after fitting the wheels. When I was running Cup 1's I had a reasonable amount of negative camber and it caused rubbing inside the left rear guard on the inner edge of the tyre.you'd be amazed how little clearance you need between the outer edge of your rear tyre and your guard. No rubbing whatsoever.

Interesting. I’m surprised it’s that flush at Et50. How much rear camber do you have now?

I ask because my current wheels are effectively an ET45 and are slightly more tucked than yours, so I was going to order e88s at ET45 to keep it about the same. I have a little over -2 deg rear camber. I wonder if I should do 50, though, since that seems more common (i.e., easier to sell if I ever change my mind).

You need 3 pieces of information to get proper and consistent stance on E88s.

1. Center number
2. Inner barrel width
3. Outer rim width

i have a brand new set of et 18x8 et50 and 18x10 et 50 in silver.
i am thinking if i should send in the rears for 18x10et45 but the flange won’t be 100% identical that is what BBS usa told me.
and they are back order till july.

I couldn't tell you off the top of my head. It's not as aggressive as it was with my Cups but visually that's fine anyway as the rims add enough aggression.
