Default Seeking feedback on stance

I realize it's a personal thing, and I realize this is kinda like asking about AM exhausts or color combinations, but I want feedback from anyone who will take the time, about STANCE.

This is the least pronounced I can get without taking it to the shop. These are bolt-on adapters (21mm). To go with less I need to change out the factory studs, and I won't do that on my own. To be honest, I would love to lose about 6mm, but before I spend the money, I want feedback from people familiar with the cars. Fire away please!

You need to drop that suspension a good bit. Thinking RS +5 or lower.

Aggressive offsets with with a taller ride height will make this stance look truckish which is probably what you’re responding to.

Looks about the same amount of poke on my tramonts.

Can you post a picture with the entire car including the front?

This is as close as it gets until tomorrow. I haven't had it off the lift yet.

I think the current tire to rim ratio is good as well as width. Another 1/4" rear and 1/2" front or so drop would make the stance perfect...you maybe already there with full tank and driver and passenger. You don't need another 6mm of off set to push the wheels out further...it is good as is! 993s look cool with a slight tire tucked look.

I meant 6mm less, not more. But less means hiring someone to install spacers, something I wanted to avoid. I have no interest in replacing the factory studs myself.

Offsets look really good in those pics. Just needs a drop and you’re set.

+1
Offset looks good. Not sure about your ride height, but mine is about RS+10 and I think it's perfect not too low that will scratch lower bumpers when going through bumps or ramps.

I agree with the “lower it a bit” crowd.
