I own both a 996 4s and a 997.2 4s. I think the 996 rear end is best looking hands down. From all other angles however the 997.2 is superior looking. I hope to follow OP’s trend and try a turbo next!
Can you provide more pictures with those wheels...Also, would love to know the wheel sizes, tires and offsets....My son is looking to get different wheels and we both like yours. Also, what have you done to the suspension if anything.
I decided to try something a little different with tire size as I wanted a bit more side wall for the rears. After much deliberation and working out the correct ratios and sizes relative front to back I decided on the following. Front: 18x8.5” ET42 with MPSS 245/40-18 tires Rear: 18x11” ET36 with MPSS 295/35-18 tires
The last two photos show after a slight 5mm drop F&R...still have not rub issues.
According to the numbers the front to rear is only a difference of 1.5%. Revs per mile is a difference of 13 so I think i'm within the window for proper sizes. The overall diameter is larger in the back and I believe from most of what I've seen the fronts should be larger. First test drive.....drove great with no warnings/codes for ABS or PSM. Not rubbing and no spacers thanks to the perfect fitment of APEX RACING either. May try and go 5mm lower on the Ohlins R&T after more testing.
Not sure if I'd say that 23'000 would be classified as a ton over a full production cycle... 175'000 996's were produced in total (I believe) so every 1:7.6 were a 996 C4S - but I know what you mean looking in the classified (regardless if in the US or Europe)
I have the XAH factory aero - then I had a local decal guy make the letters for me and I applied directly to the reflector - it shows up better in black and white photos
