Yup H&R deep coilovers, custom rear control arms with balljoints, Elephant Racing front camber plates and tie rods, 28mm spacers all around

Yeah I just gotta get my rear RS end links on as the H&R ones were too small for the RS rear sway bar.

Does anyone know of there are Fuchs style 18” wheels for a 993 wide body that fit without spacers?
Thank you.

For a widebody without spacers, probably only Rotiform FUC's http://www.rotiform.com/wheel/25438/.../?styleID=8027

Forgelines? Looks great Darin. Almost as good as your Tramonts. Period correct option and a modern option. Best of both worlds.

Thank you.
You might want to contact Augment Wheel Company.

i saw this morning on IG that Augment now has a Fikse Profil5 copy. not sure why really. they typically make 3-piece version of mono designs. it looked good, though.
i generally like their modern interpretations of original manufacturer wheels.

Someone should create a lightweight 18" Cup 2 with correct offsets for our cars.

1. May I add "beautiful" more than "retro," let alone "cute"! And yes, the proportions on a properly lowered car look completely right!
2. The "taller" sidewalls are not "tall" in the strict sense, and only taller than 35 or 30 profile tires, the latter two not practical if one drives daily or often.
3. Same with "skinny" as good compound 225 and 255 on such a small and light (relative to most, of course) car is plenty sticky on the road; not "skinny" in any absolute sense.
4. The Cup II wheels and 17" rubber, together, are a very light package compared to most of the "cooler" wheels out there, where less unsprung weight yields dividends in handling.
5. I am biased: I love this look!

Last picture, and I'll stop before we get accused of hijacking this into another Cup 2 appreciation thread

Regarding skinny tires, I'm on 205/50 front and 235/45 rear, so somewhat skinnier than your typical 18" setup.

911F1 - Augment wheels has done a set of 18" Cup 2s for a customer. In the pictures I saw of his car it's not lowered, so the proportions seem a bit off.
