Here is the setup. I think it should do just fine but need confirmation.

The offset of the front wheels is ET40 and the rear wheels are ET62. The front wheels are 9.5 inches wide and the rears are 12 inches wide.

Tim,

Hahahahaha. Haven't even seen the car yet and you're already halfway down the slippery slope.

9.5 and 12 are pretty much the extreme limit for our cars, and require the correct camber, the perfect offset (may need to adjust those rears with spacers) and being very careful with tire selection. You may need to roll the fenderlips unless everything is just perfect. Why so wide? What are they from? More typically we use a 9"/11" wide wheel. With the AWD, tire selection is tougher because the diameter of the fronts and rears must be pretty evenly matched (with the rears a teensy bit smaller).

Steve: Yeah I am already down that slope. Mods are addictive in so many ways

Tim,

I didn't want to hijack that other thread on the 993 parts where I was teasing you about the "slippery slope", and you posted a picture of your ex 996 C4S.I don't mind hijacking this thread, because its yours, and you truely are certifiable. Let me say that while I am not a big fan of the 996 cars, there are a few that knock my socks off... maybe its the Techart stuff... I dunno. But your old car was quite something. But... I must add, you will absolutely LOVE the 993TT.

Did you pass on those wheels? When do you get your car? Are you driving it home?

I won them. But am waiting for confirmation on the size. Like we talked about, they have to be smaller. Got them for 1225

That's an amazing price and great wheels. I was watching the auction, but didn't know your eBay name. So... when do you actually get a Porsche to start putting this stuff on? What else are you planning on doing to that non-existant car? I hope you don't mind my teasing... but it IS kinda funny.

Steve:

Teasing? Heck no. I deserve it

Lets see. I want to do a short shifter but not to sure I like the re-forming the bell portion. Although it would not be the first time I have taken a blunt force enhancement tool to a car. I want to put the clear corners on (ditch the amber). After that I am not sure. I will play with the car for a while before digging into anything else I am sure.

Maybe spruce up the garage to better compliment the car
