Default New Look for my 997 C2S - Coilovers + Wheels with a 4" lip

I finally got around to taking a couple of decent shots of my car's new look. It's a standard narrow body; however, I am running HRE C20s with the turbo/wide body offset. These wheels combined with the coilovers gave the car a totally different look so I thought I would share






If anyone else is running aggressive fitment wheels on their 997, I would love to see some pics!

Fantastic. That's one awesome setup. How is the ride quality with the BC's?

The car loos great, Please do share the wheel specs I was told on a NB you could only go with a 3" lip before it would stick out too far.

Thanks all. The rear wheels are 11.5" wide with an offset in the high 30s. I rolled the fenders and left some negative camber in the rear, around 2-3 degrees but will have the check my alignment printout to get the exact specs. On really large dips I've had some rubbing, but nothing too bad. I think it is rubbing on a bracket in the back, but need to investigate a bit more and do something about it. Has anyone else had this issue on a lowered car?

Sorry, missed this question. Ride quality is nice on the BCs. For the money, I am very impressed with them. They are slightly firmer than stock, but not much. I always assumed coilovers would ride similar to how the car rode with PASM activated, but thankfully, I was wrong
