I did some test fitting with an extra set of late model 911 rims i had sitting around in the garage on my last car before the sawzall took care of it....
These have a 52mm offset. For the rear, the tire hit the trailing arm and the inside of the fenderwell/trunk wall. If the trailing arm was notched (about .5") and the fender well/trunk area was moved towards the car centerline, I think these would fit just fine. This approach would be similar to how the hotrod guys "tub" a car to put big fat tire on it without flares.

Yup, that's the right-front corner of it allright!
That one they cut up without the rest of us. I stopped by after work to help (it was a weekday), but the car was already in pieces. Oh well... --DD |
