I heard something about this awhile back... has anyone ever done this? Do they have any pictures? Also, how come a the similar widths of a 911 with fikses look much more offset than a 993 with fikses? Is it possible to get more offset for a 993? Thanks

Here's my car with 11" Kinesis wheels in the rear, 9.5" in the front.

I run 9s and 11s on my RS. Not a problem. Re your offset Q-- some wheels seem to have a deeper outer rim halve, especially on the rear. If you like the deep offset look, try BBS or Cargraphic.

DCLee... what size tires are you running? Did you have to roll the fenders pretty aggressively? Thanks

DCLee

Tires-- I run 245/285, can go a little wider if need be (but not a 305--tried it, won't work).

Yeah, the fenders were rolled pretty aggressively, but Porsche fender lips were *made* to be rolled. There's this special German tool that bolts onto the hub, see-- I even used it to roll the fenders on my Audi S4. Then there is the U.S. counterpart, the Louisville Slugger

so if I lowered a 993 to euro specs would I be able to put 11" Fikses on and roll the fenders a lot and it will work? THanks for you help.

DCLee

It will work if you are careful about the measurements. I have my BBS measurements (inside and outside rim halves, measure from the wheel center flange) at work and can e-mail them to you when I return in January. You can take those to Fikse and have them make the wheels to those specs.

That would be great. No rush, though. I am speaking of using these for street and street alignment so I can get regular use out of the tires; this will work with a ormal alignment, not crazy camber, right? Thanks for your help.
