So my problems ARE just started then.....
Hmm .. It can be done on a SC, with 8 "ET 25 .. has ET10.6 .. I am short of 14.4mm then...
Again, it can be done with 9 "ET15 has ET3 .. here I'am short of 12mm.
So: short of 14.4mm in the front
short of 12mm in the back
How the hell can that be done, (when you don't want to widen your car!)
1) you can stretch your tire further .. (195X65 & 225X60 compared to 205 &245). gives you 2-3mm?
2) you can give it more camper ... 2mm?
3) machine 1-2mm of the contact surface on the rim .. Very dangerous ..
at this point you are missing approx. 10mm in front
and approx. 7mm in the back
4) Can you convert your spindle to new type of ball bearing in the front? You should have enough space to move the rim in a little ... (if you take the old double concave system on the Porsche, and compare it with, for example, a WV golf wheel bearing, you will have a few mm)
5) can't think of anything other than moving the actual suspension points now .... and it will be approx. 7mm both front and rear ...
6) suggestions? ideas? am I REALLY going to drop my dreams ...
What can be fitted is constrained by;
the available hardware
the available space
the effects on the vehicle dynamics

Here is what is available that can be fitted to an SC/Carrera

note that only the wheels in the green sections are oe Fuchs
