I installed a set of Kinesis 3.6 Turbo replicas on my 94 964 today. They are 18x10 in the back and 18x8 up front shod with B-stone SO2's. I know this is an aggressive setup for my car but I checked with two respected mechanics and the alignment specialist at Jim Ellis Porsche and all confirmed that there would be no problems. The reason for this size choice was to enable me to keep these wheels (they're a bit pricey) so that I can use them on a 993 or 996 that I may buy sometime in the future (offsets are nearly identical).

They look great on the car and it corners like it's on rails. I test-drove about 20 miles and could not induce rubbing. Here's my question. The rear passenger wheel/tire has about 1/4" of clearance from the metal oil return pipe on the innermost wheel well liner. Dave at Wheel Enhancement (a great guy, by the way) assures me that this clearance is static and is fine. If the body were to lean horizonitally, independant of the chassis, it seems that they could make contact. Is this possible under hard cornering? The car is lowered conservatively with H&R springs.

Any comments are appreciated. So far Wheel Enhancement has been a pleasure to deal with in every regard.

Thanks for your help,
