315s with a 12.5" rim, 45 offset. My rears and fronts are both rolled. My fronts actually rolled themselves over time because my last front fitment rubbed on hard cornering. Its funny because the rolling of the front is better than the professional rolling of the back...

Its a must if you're looking to run really agressively close to the fender. However, when my rears were practically touching the fender, the suspension compressing drew the tires away from the fender.

Anyways, maybe more info than you need. GL!

What sizing are you using up front to achieve this?

Well it was my last wheel set. Right now I'm on hre p40s. I recently sent them in to get refinished from matte black to brushed. Ill make a thread to show them off at some point.

Anyways. The wheels I had on were 993 spec offset BBS LMs (im actually selling them now). They were +56 offset in the front and rear BUT i was also running a 30mm (yes 30 lol) spacer to get to a +26 offset. (56-30 = 26). The front rims were 8" and I was running a 235/40 in the front. Rears were 11" and I was stretching a 315/35 on them.

I just upgraded to 255/40 front. Night and day better. Though my car is a gt2 so take it with a grain of salt. 255 may not work on the 996tt without some mods or agressive offset... Not sure.

Anyways, ill stop ranting.. Hope that answered your question. xD

I'm on 305/30 and will be putting on the H&Rs shortly. I plan to roll my fenders with a rubber mallet before putting on the springs. Just heat up the paint on the rear fenders with a heat gun then get out the mallet and tap the fender lip until its out of the way. No need for a fancy roller just google rolling fender rubber mallet, lets of talk on this.

You have pics of how close it is and where? Will help me to know where the rubbings happening so I only "roll" the least amount needed
