only a tad mate, if you look at the pic you have the side is actually level, its cos the rear arches are lower than the front arches which makes em look lower

i have trimmed them right back today so there's plenty of room now.

i have fitted the boxster wheels tonight but there's clearance issues on the rear. i trimmed the bottom edge of the arch trim off but they are still catching.

i pplan to raise the back end by about 10mm. there should be loads of clearance then and it will also make it very slightly nose down - the stance i want.

if this all fails then the boxster wheels will be going and i'll fit something smaller

last night i adjusted the rear suspension. brought it up about 10mm and the car can move now!  stance is still a little flat for my liking.

i am no longer convinced these wheels work on this car. may give the twists another go or just go for some wideish 15's.

i was amazed how much crud there was on the threads after only 6 days and about 130 miles. i greased them up but will definately need to keep on top of them.

 :cool: looks sweet like that dude :Afro:

Possibly smaller wheels would work better, but I like it the height it is with those wheels :smiley:

Agreed but... In the flesh the current wheels do look good. Also the twists are just too wide to be practical. Also being reps they are heavy.
 
I am on the lookout for the 17 inch twist a like's that were standard on some boxsters. Don't look quite as good as the 911 wheels but reasonable size and weight.
 
Lol at chris.
