I believe it stems from the fact that as the suspension is unloaded (weight comes off) the wheels move inboard somewhat, reducing clearance to the bars.

If you can get the wheels on.. you will be fine.

still a bit humorous that going "airborne" in your 996 would even be an issue... just sayin.

I don't plan on going airborne any time soon, so I'm not too concerned about it.

For future reference:

I mounted the wheels today and went for a spirited test drive - no issues at all, though I didn't go airborne.
