[QUOTE=mongrelcat;10490519]That is some true 993 perfection. Wow.

Many thanx. :-)

Actually, 19x11 ET 63 barely works on a WB. I had to fit spacers to avoid rubbing against the coilovers, with 315 tires. Maybe works with 295, but that doesn't give the right sidewall profile with 11 inch wide rims. I think both LM and LM-R's come also in 10 inch, though. Mind you, if you do run spacers, the only thing I have had work is 15 mm DRM's (with bolts fitted). Can't run DRM's thinner than 15 mm, 'cause you need mass sufficient for rigidity. And if you go for 10 mm DRS (and you need at least 10 mm, to be able to build in....what's it called in English.....line-up steering (?) on the spacer as such), the pin-bolts on the car are too short, so you'll have to have them replaced for longer ones. With 7 mm spacers (which are basically just flat), it may work with current bolts, but only if you use steel screw nuts instead of aluminium ones and tighten with increased tension. On my car, I thought there wasn't sufficient line-up from the 7 mm's, so I went for the full 15 mm and crossed my fingers. And it's really only a whisker away from fender rubbing, especially in front.

So to cut a(n all too) long story short; no, I don't think 11 inch will work on NB's..... But maybe there are people out there who have managed somehow.....?

Once you reverse mount the LMs they look so much better!

Like others stated that setup you got is perfection too.

I love this look. I had those wheels on a GTi a while back.

Sorry for being slightly dim-witted, but what is "reverse mount"....?

Knight

No problem, fair enough question.

Here are some pics too from fellow R'lister Foude on 19s (silver). The rears have the biggest impact. TripleG also has a nice setup with 18s (red).

Aha..... What a brilliant idea, and clever way to resolve ET issues! Didn't have even a clue as to the possibility to do that. Still, two concerns for me personally. The problem with splits is generally that inwards centering of spokes/rim sidewalls (with a surrounding lip) weakens the visual impact of the car. The more inwards they sit, the narrower the car feels. Secondly (and especially if, as I have you paint the spokes in a colour deviating from the polished lip) hiding the edge of the spoke package behind the lip increases the perceived height of the lip as such, and conversely creates an impression of the wheels being smaller than they are. Still (and again), an ingenious move.
