Convertig a narrow body 911 to RSR/Turbo without spacers

Hello,

I am wondering what is needed (suspension wise) and what is involved to convert a 911 SC to widebody 73 2,8 RSR
I dont want to use spacers. Do I have to change the arms front and rear or It is possible to be done with different wheel offsets ?

Car is converted to 2,8 RSR 73 look hence the wider wings

Wheels offsets would be the easiest way to fill the fenders. Contact the manufacturer of your choice and give them the dimensions. I think 9-10 inch front and 11-12 inch rear are what most widebody owners are using. Tire sizes vary by brand but a 245/315 combo would fit nicely.

Offsets available for these wheels ? I am interested in 16" ones.
What make of tyres do you use and what are the exact sizes ?

No spacers on mine. The wheels were 16x7 Fuchs that were converted to 17x8 and 17x9.5 by TruDesign in Colorado. Jim does outstanding work.
