I have BC racing coilovers and I set the car for GT3 spec which I think looks pretty decent.

I would also ditch the 245x35x18 front tires and run 235x40x18 on the 8.5s for many reasons.

Mine was super low when i bought it, running B16 coilovers and GT3 spec tyres.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hi, everyone. I run a fairly generous wheel/tire setup of 18x8.5 ET44 front and 18x11 ET60 rear on 245/35-18 and 295/30-18 Michelins respectively. In terms of clearance, would a 1-inch drop be too much for that? Thanks!
Hey brother... So looking online I found these 2 links

Basically, they got your exact same setup, but your ET pushes you about 3mm FURTHER out so you'd run into this even more
So the real question is, do u have pictures? Also, what year and soforth is your car? 996.1's will more than likely require camber adjustment and or a fender rolling to get this fitment sitting pretty. 996.2 seems to have more room but IDK why... just a tidbit of knowledge I picked up somewhere along the way
Give these a read (if u havent already) and I think youre set. Worst case scenario is just fender rolling and or camber adjusting... I think thats a small price to pay for THE LOOK
Oh, I'm all about THE LOOK. If nothing else, I'm deeply superficial.
So my 996 is a dot-1, and I suspected as much about the dot-2 having more room. Whatever the case, I don't fear fender rolling, but I worry a little about camber adjustment since I think my mechanic already had to change it for my rear wheels.
Thanks for the help, though!
Yeah, that's why I'm on the fence about it. The stock ride height is just a bit too high for my taste, but the potential rigamarole of chasing a slight drop does seem like�to quote an old boss�a long way for a ham sandwich.
I have pretty much the same wheel setup that you are asking about. I have BC racing coilovers and I set the car for GT3 spec which I think looks pretty decent. The reason I didn't go lower is I have the LN solution on mine and damaged the oil feed line which resulted in losing all oil to the engine
Luckily I shut her down in time, but after that I did raise her back up some. If I wasn't so paranoid I could def go lower. I rub in the rear but it seemed to clearances it self out lol.
That is just about where I pictured mine sitting: not too low, just low enough. Also, thanks for including that bit about the LN solution�I was thinking about it myself!
Mine was super low when i bought it, running B16 coilovers and GT3 spec tyres.
It was completely useless on NZ roads and would scrape everywhere over bumps/ curbs.
I've since raised to GT3 specs and there is so much more useful compliance, coupled with a decent camber/alignment setup.
Before/after:
Agree, GT3 spec not only looks the best, but handles best versus a slammed 996 which looks silly as hell. I would also ditch the 245x35x18 front tires and run 235x40x18 on the 8.5s for many reasons. Keep the 295x30x18.
