Your car doesn't need graphics. It looks amazing as is. Wow.

Nice ride height - you must catch on lots of stuff being that low.

Did you change any suspension components? I found on cars that are very low that, for example with the toe control arms, that the body pivot is actually below shock attachment point, and combine that with the limited reach of the inner eccentric, makes it difficult to get a good alignment, and the wheels wear like crazy. A common solution is to put in Tarett components so you can now have the range. Your camber looks good, so I am curious if all the numbers are dialed in.

If you did not change anything in the front, how is the bump steer?

Cheers,

Mike

Yes, totally bad *** and what everybody else are saying. What size spacers are you using?


Txs,

Default 9's & 12's

I wanna run these wheels from Rennworx on 993tt 2wd, Bill at RW says he can only make 18's in 9'', 10.5'' & 12'', I wanna run 315/30/18 (12.5''x 25.5'') on Rear, & 245/35's( 9.8''x24.8'') in Front, any help on offsets, can I fit the 9's & 12's? Car has Ruf bumpers, but don't wanna run heavy 19's with lame tire choices.

Love the BBS E28s, maybe my favorite wheel for 993, especially in gold.
