Track Day
I recently installed a Eurowise 2” spacer lift and 1/2” subframe spacers. (I probably didn’t need the subframe spacers) Stealth Custom Series made me one-off wheels wrapped in Wildpeak AT4W. I got a little rubbing at the wheel liner in front of the wheel which I pushed forward. Clearance is minimal but it doesn’t rub at all.

Also, what all did you do with regards to "pushing" your fender liners forward? I tried heating the heck out of mine to clearance my 265/60r18 and just couldn't get more than minimal extra clearance out of it. Did you also remove the front air dams and maybe remount the lower part further in towards the fog lights?

Those look fantastic, always loved the SCS stuff. Curious how much extra they ran you to do a one-off, or I wonder if they're potentially getting into the 5x130 market?

Thanks! Fortunately, I’m friends with the owner of the company and he and I have talked about Porsche wheels for a couple years now. He finally agreed to make a set. He may be running a small batch of them. If you follow his company, you’ll see a post about them… stay tuned!
I did remove the air dams which allowed me enough room to cut down and relocated the air dam brackets and I reused the brackets to secure the wheel liner. You can’t push them too far forward with out the intercooler vent hitting the intercooler. It gave me enough clearance for zero rubbing.

That sounds like what I may need to do with my air dams then. I thought it looked like their mounts were what was keeping the liner too far forward on top of the intercooler brackets hanging there loosely as well.

June 3, 2017 was when I started this thread. Guess I'll post another picture of how the car sits today. Exactly the same with a bit more wear on her.

Si02 coating and then a nice coat of P21S Carnuba wax.

@RAudi Driver looks great, ceramic or wax coating?
