Sand a little bit off those Fuchs.

First: the aspect ratio of those wheels are way off. They're not Fuchs, are they?
Get the right wheel and tire combination on the car.

Second: Like so many people who lighten their cars in pursuit of better performance, you have gone too far. Replacing the engine and transmission may bring the ride height closer to factory specification.

Typical newbie mistakes.:D

It appears to be set up as a track car?

Yo, yo, yo, I keep telling you guy to stop buying those super low profile tiles. They don't work all that well for a Porsche, homie.

Here's the other ride. Sold the 8s as I can't find reasonably priced 245/45s. So, put some 6s up front and moved the 7s in back.

Got stoopid money for my 8s, put 1 inch spacers all around. Same width, marginal difference in handling and 1500 ahead. Better inside clearance.

Due all the BS in different tire aspect, now need to corner balance, adjust height and align. Anyone have recommendations BESIDES Alarcon in the SO CAL area, south?

I fixed your ride height and found a mismatched door and fender. Yeah.. yeah.. I know it's impact bumper stuff, but, screw it. I'd say it's good enough to sell on craiglist:

Good skills Leaky. It looks kinda "Magnus Walker" to me.

That was a $500 roller just two years ago. $3500 for a 71T is rusted out tub is crazy.

Without the weight of all the mechanicals, trim, windows, and interior, you can't check the ride height properly.

Just dial the factory settings back in and it will look fine.

I can tell that's photoshopped, because GT3's have centerlocks...
