He's got adapters to make up for the high offset of the wheels (offsets for a Narrow body 911 and late 944's). No modification to the fenders, just added camber to tuck. The wheels are 19x8.5 fronts I think and 19x11 or 19x11.5's in the rear. They're OEM Lobsters, not replicas.
I think the car pulls off the lobsters really well because it's got a pretty slammed stance - looks lower in person than it does in these pictures.
I agree that 19's are usually too big for 993's, but like most of you, I was also surprised how this car seems to pull it off. I've seen 993's with 19" mesh style wheels and it just overpowers the car. I think the open spoke design of the lobsters help with that. I'm also a big fan of large lips on the rear wheels, and I'm surprised I like how this car looks without any lip.
