Chris, as of right now these will be for street or track rains. They are a bit tight up front. Check out my member photos gallery for some other angles.

Tony, do you have contact info for BBS Motorsport in Ga.?

I bet thay are. They have 225/50s on them? Mine were very tight, and I'm not as low as you are. What's the offset on the 8s - is it close to the 23.3 of the Fuchs 8s? If so, you're welcome to try my 8s with 225/45s to see if you get a little more clearance.

I'll have a set of 17" 996 twists for sale soon. Some curb rash, but fine for the track. I don't think they'll fit on an SC or older car, which is all I will be tracking from now on.

You can't see much of the calipers through those BBS spokes. I say, send those wheels out to the chromer.

I've seen that style wheel on the "middle" cars (74-89). They just take some awfully big adapters/spacers. The "new" wheels are, 52-55 mm offset compared to the older cars 11-23mm offset. Nothing like adding unsprung weight :P
