what is an 'early' 3.4 996?

[Dammit]

That's 30mm further out than the factory wheels, seems like a lot to me?

Coulstar on 911uk had 10’’ et38 on his NB without rubbing, so you could definitely go more than that with the rear arches rolled as long as you stayed with a 265 tyre.

I’m running 15mm spacers on an et65 (so et50), and there’s loads of room. I’ve got a picture somewhere of a NB on 11’’ et35... but that is running 2.5* of camber and a 275 rear tyre (so it’s got a bit of stretch).

Bloody in dash oil display freaking me out again, showing lowish on a level surface - pulled the dipstick (cleaned and tried three times) and bang on the top mark!!

I’d be happier if it didn’t have the dash display as it’s just a source of stress

Mine are 11" et63 running 295 tyres. It's pretty low and has never rubbed

11” et63 is the same off set as a 10” et50.

You might be able to run a 10mm spacer on yours without rubbing, but IRC, your sidewalks are quite upright. You’d definitely be able to use s 7mm.

I’ve found the photo of the NB with 11”/et38. I’ll post it when I have my laptop. Won’t be to anyone’s taste, but shows just how far you can go.

The 996 gt3 runs a 10.5 inch wheel I think and a 295 tyre right, and it's the same body.

[Chris Stott]

Pretty sure Gt3 runs 11” et63.

I was just guessing.

Same here. Fine when cold but all over the shop when hot.

[Chris Stott]

Narrow body. 11" et 38. Lowered. 2.4* camber. 275 rear tyre. Rear arches rolled, but not pulled.

[Fast Bug]

Touch too much camber, but I quite like that

[Chris Stott]

I love the colour and the exhaust tips... the wheels/camber is bit too much, but shows how far you can go with off set without rubbing.

On a lowered car, I think an 11" wheel with an offset around 50-52, or a 10" around 38-40 would look flush without requiring daft amount of camber or tyre stretch.. though I think both would need an arch roll... that's where I'm planning to go with mine - Kersher Fuchs replicas, painted petals, and a c.7mm spacer (Kershers rears are 10" et45).

[bgunn]

Too much tyre for my liking. It'll be a bit of a dull/unfeeling drive, I expect.

To each their own

Just spotted this
Interior colour and wheels not for me but looks a nice car.

I had a very quick look around their stock at lunchtime - that one looked good, but agree the interior is not great. Why do they have to change the colour of everything??

They also have a lovely C4S which would be my perfect spec:

Does anyone have any experience of them as a company?

I'm going to have to scratch the 911 itch soon...

Dodgy ims bearing replacement would put me off. Totally unnecessary to change it.
