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

Bilstein PSS9's
H&R adjustable front sway bar
TRG adjustable sway bar kit, 22mm rear
RS rear drop links
my camber is at 1.5 front and 2 rear
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.
it looks like a monoblock wheel that already produced-therefore he should be able to supply that info.
thanks, would love to see your car (i see you are a local)

Understand the impulse to add graphics to a silver car -- I'm constantly dreaming up ways to add a little spice to mine, but I think you've got it just right with the gold wheels. So my vote would be to skip the graphics...

front
18x8 et 52
225/40/18
rear
18x10 et 40
285/30/18
what i would suggest as a comfortable fit without having to roll your fenders is as follows:
front
18x9 et 52
245/40/18
18x10.5 et 35
305/30/18
i have succeeded in running an 11" wheel with an aggressive offset by:
1. removing my wheels and spending time measuring and in the wheel tubs checking clearance.
2. rolling my fenders
3. running slightly stretched tires to fit into the wheel tubs under suspension compression.
if you were close i would be happy to spend the afternoon with you and help out, but i can only speculate given what came on the car originally.
-running a 12 on the rear would require rolling of your fender for sure because you can not split the difference and go one inch into the rear tub-there are oil cooler lines that run there, and pushing your wheel out 1.5 inches you will have contact between the tire and body.
other factors are ride height, stiffness of suspension, where and how you drive your car.
Bill Veeburg may be able to shed some light on this, the amount of knowledge he has is INSANE!
best of luck to you,
Neil

thanks! I think....
i heard you might have some new wheels in the works also?
yup! you know imitation is the greatest form of flattery.
coming from you-that is QUITE the compliment(for those who may not know, Nurburger has/had some of the nicest, rarest wheels on his cars)
i PM'ed Flying Flinn, i will definitely let you know when we meet up, should be in a couple of weeks.
thanks, i believe i will skip the graphics for now.
