Tim,
No of course I don't mind: that's what we're her for, to help each other with our shared passion/hobby.
I use 944 turbo Cup (there has been Cup races with 944 turbo in 86/87 I believe) brakes, who even sligthly bigger than normal 944 turbo brakes, front and rear complete with spindels, 3 " wider arms, torsion bars (23,5 mm, same as T3 variant) alu torsion housing covers and ABS sensors. Believe me, unfortunately, there are differences in the Cup version and don't ask me how I know.
7,5 inch wide rims with stock springs and no spacers will almost certainly NOT fit.
Acually, the reason for the fared fenders was because with the 3'' wider track at the rear, none of the porsche wheels would fit under the stock fenders. Originally I wanted to use 6 + 7 x 16" Fuchs rims, which I like(d) a lot. These would't fit the Brembo brakes!!!! not even with spacers! 6x16"Fuchs would have cleared the Mc Pherson springs. So I needed different rims. In 16", I could only find 993 rims that would fit, but they were 1" wider than I thought necessary. Therefore extentions were also needed in the front.
Now I hear that Boxster Brembo's are slimmer and even 15"Fuchs would fit a 1200/1300 front with adapted spindels and boxster Brembos. But I like my 993 rims now even more than Fuchs, so I have peace with it now.
In my example it becomes also clear that the German Look is more 'form follows function' for ME.
At the rear I have ample space between the rear tire and the torsion trailing arm. Also more then enough space for a Ahnendorp silencer system, which has a demper just between the valve cover and the rear tire. Good thing too.
I tried to attach a picture, but my picture file seems to be too big (?!)
I'am sorry Tim, this is probably more info then you bargained for LOL,
Walter
