Thanks.



Now try to imagine adding a full inch and a quarter, or five centimeters, to each of those rear tires.

You're talking wide.

and you're talking camber, how much are you using? It looks really radical for a street car.

The lights are 911R style. Not correct for a 911 RSR.

I think the camber is about 3 degrees, maybe less. I'll have to look it up. The big wheels and the shape of the flares make it look more exaggerated, I think.

going back to the big tyre issue, the inner offset on my banded 11x15 fuch's is 121mm. does this mean that i should be able to use 345/35/15's?

With only 4 and 3/4 inches of backspacing you need to measure from the mounting surface on the hub to the suspension arm bolts and see how much room you have.
Yokohama 345s are 3/4 inch wider than Pirelli 345s. Makes a big difference in this tight fitment.
