Lolol thanks....Did you make that just now? Should make a thread for it if you haven't already

Nah, I made it a long time ago, but I thought it was relevant to the convo.

It's actually posted in the wheel/tire forum also.

Looks great, makes me want a 996!

I agree with color matching the hood and the front fitment. I'd have to agree with Karl, those wheel numbers sound off for an nb 996, 13" & -20 would be crazy poke on an nb 996. How much camber are you running front and rear?

I'm curious how the cup wing looks. Doesn't seem like it flows with the rest of the car, but maybe it will look good when it's all together.

thanks, its -3.25 in front and -7 in rear.

Once again, Capt. Obvious to the rescue.

I am giving it time to digest but for starters that "GT" badge is quite off center, the GT2 kit looks cheap as expected and the wing is simply off in a narrow 996.

I like the tint on the headlights and the tinted LED tailights.

For a stanced car and being a 996 is quite good, the stretch on the rear tires is nice, the wheels are good and the rear camber although exagerated for anything works well for show.

Perhaps I could live with everything but the wing has to go, GT3 or GT3RS wing would be best, any interior shots?

@ Karl: Thanks. You may have Pm's in a second.

Funny you mention the wing . No interior shots as it's stock for now.

Overall I love it, but the camber in the rear makes it look cheap.

There is such a thing as too much

Although im sure what your saying is probably true, those are the final offset specs the shop gave me on the wheel (besides the width which is 13in measured myself). Whether they are accurate or not is beyond me since I haven't calculated it myself. The wheels were made to be an aggressive fitment for a widebody car. Thanks for the info.

Right, if you measured from outer edge of wheel to outer edge of wheel you would be 1" too wide. So they would be 12" and like I said whoever gave you those offset numbers is wrong. Just trying to help you not get clowned when you are telling people what you have and someone around knows his stuff and throws it back in your face.

Just an honest critique...but who the hell measured the wheel fitment???

The front needs about another 1.0'" to 1.5" to match the rear poke.

Nice ride though.

I really LIKE it


paint the hood and space the fronts and I'll LOVE it
