Man, I almost pulled the trigger on a seal gray 996TT but didnt want to fork out the extra 10K for it so i settled for a run of the mill silver TT which is still very nice.
your car looks awesome @2fcknfst !

That's the problem when the tires have the wheel lip bead "protector" which makes the sidewalls look a bit skinnier and angled. The Porsche N-spec tires do not have that which gives them a much cleaner look as the sidewall is smooth and vertical making it look taller. With that said. based on your pictures, I would definitely lower the car a bit and add some more rake. A 996Cup runs a 21mm rake. A 997Cup uses a 42mm rake. I use a 42mm rake. Porsche put a lot more rake in the 997Cup chassis which is essentially what my car uses.
A 6TT I would set it up at 115/130 ride height with a 15mm rake. That's equivalent to a 20mm rake on a a 6GT2 due to the different subframes. With the taller rear 19" tires, I would shoot for a 25mm rake on the 6TT, give or take.

I doubt it matters all that much for a street car. I just always try to hit certain numbers when doing a performance alignment and don't really take into consideration things like lip clearance. Things scraping from time to time is just part of the game is just how I look at it.

I'll make a few measurements this weekend, and hopefully see it in the sun to get a good idea of how it's sitting.
Cheers,
