maybe it is your alignment?
i dont think mine is far from the stock alignment though...
maybe it is the type of tire, because the pirellis have a rounded side wall and stick out a bit more as opposed to the flat sidewall of the michelin.

I have 305's PS2's and they do not stick out. I would like to try some wheels with a wider offset so see if the wider track makes any difference at the track though.

mdrums, to put it into perspective, the 305 is 10mm wider than the 295, so that is 5mm sticking further out.
i think your sport wheels are 67mm offset right? but 11.5in wide. so that is another 12mm wider adding another 6mm pushing the wheel out.
you still have some more to go to match the 51mm offset of the turbo wheels...
btw, I still havent gotten the lobsterforks since my car is in the shop but i am planning to swap them out as soon as i get a chance.
let me know if you are interested.

raffi, I looked at the 18" carrera 4 wheels but they are hard to find and the rears are only 10" wide and I need at least 11" to fit the Toyo RA1 or Michelin Cup 305/30/18 size on them.

Hey guys.
i guess i had not made it clear earlier, but the wheels have narrow 997 fitment tires.
The pirelli tires are 295 in the rear.
the wheels originally had michelins, which have very little wear on them but unfortunately one of the tires had to be patched, so now I really do not want to sell with the michelins...
The price for the wheels and brand new pirellis is
2800+ shipping
