Has anyone in the US done this swing arm mod? Options

So, for the record, on my car (3.5" Bolt to Bolt, 911 brake Calipers Up front) 5 lug of course, these 7" fuchs fit very well with room to spare. For those who want to know, the first three of the serial number on these rims are 951. I have 205/55/ZR16 Pilots on them.


Here's some pics of the rims/tires on the front and some of the rears which of course is the problem at this point. The rears will be in shape in a couple of months. I'm on the list.

Okay, you can do what you want and I won't fault you for that. To me,
it seems excessive _unless_ the only look you want is the 7x16 (more
lip showing than 6x16).

I went with 3-piece fuchs since a set of centers became available and I
need the performance of wider rims with the hoosier autocross rubber.
Keep in mind that the cars are not precise with the location of everything,
left side and right side. When you start pushing the limits of the fender
well, be prepared to have an assortment of 1/3/5mm spacers and longer
wheel studs. If you are not doing high-g cornering, you can unbolt the
shock and simply move the arm up and down to see where you are at.

To get your 7x16 in there, everything seems like bad ideas other than
the trailing arm mod. Skinny tires would be weird. Using lots of camber
might get the tires past the fenders but there is a limit due to the shims.
Super-stiff springs is ghetto and will destroy your handling and frame.
