ForgeLine for the Z - Model SP3P

It does sit in a bit. However, I considered what would happen with a 1" drop and use at the track with 265's/285's F/R. with the wheel turned and hitting a bump. In that situation I feel I will have less of a chance of the tire hitting the outside of the fender. If it's not a problem I can always add a spacer and longer studs. I mention this as I once watched a large black snake peel off the right front of my 968 in turn 2 at Mid-Ohio. First session of a 3 day weekend and one tire was toast. The tire in this case was sitting flush with the fender at rest in a straight line.

Thanks for bringing that point up as others may wish to consider other options based on their use.

I'll get a better photo of the front wheel in relation to the opening and post it.

just my opinion:

looks like it needs wider rear tires, the stretched look doesnt work for me (are those the stock tires on wider wheels?). And the offsets look like they should've been more aggressive.

The wheels are definately nice, though. Good color combination.
