My RUF inspired monster truck

Time for suspension upgrades to get this turbo to stand right on it's new pair of shoes

Still waiting on spacers for the rears.



Excuse the messy garage. It's getting a make over in the spring...

That's how my car looked before I added coilovers, once you get it dropped it will look so much nicer especially with those beautiful rims.

They are the same weight as the factory 996 GT2 rims and real RUF rims. Never really figured that out. Are solid spoke wheels SO much stronger that Porsche accepted to add 5 lb (10 lbs compared to aftermarket Porsche wheels like champions) that they felt it was an acceptable trade off in their lightweight, race focused car?

What offset are they? I know for a fact that 25mm offset works with rolled fenders on 11" rims. i can help you with spacer recommendations

It is true... you could get Monster Truck Tires on that with the height it is... will look night and day when she is dropped.
Lovin' the color... stunning!
BTW, remove the bumper protectors

Is that just stock ride height? Or are those tires that much smaller than stock that the gap is almost 4"?

It's the lighting. It's more like 2.5-3 inches or so.
