Congratulations Alex, she looks awesome. You have to take it to the drag strip to dispel the myth that you can't drive a six. At least once.

What size/offset are the HRE's? What size tires? Do the fenders need to be rolled with this setup?

what are you doing to shore up the tranny?
Hi Alex. I know there's a fancy clutch going in there,
but what about the gearbox itself? Anything? Fancy
axles needed with AWD, or only when folks have or
go to RWD?

thanks,
Joe

These are 8.5 in the front and 12s in the rear. Slightly more aggressive than the GT2 offsets in order to fit the GTR brakes. 335 rears and 245 fronts... The rear fenders need to be rolled indeed... a la GT2.

Thanks Jags,

That's actually a prototype and really a one-off. It's not really "fit" for a product. Although it has a larger diameter and better flow and mates up to the NA 996 throttlebody unfortunately it also needs to sit back a couple of inches further and doesn't allow for the fan/decklid. If we actualy get around to redoing and making one I'll for sure let you know....
