Hi Alex,

Believe me, no amount of bending the rear wings will allow me to fit the rims and 944 brakes on the car. The Wheel, tyre, brake and IRS combo has increased the rear track by about 2 inches and there are no spacers. I knew I would come into difficulties at the time and now just have to find the best solution for narrowing the rear track.

As suggested earlier in this thread by hot66, turning off some material from the back of the hub is an option but only to remove 10mm from either side, but this brings me to another problem...I'm running with the Turbo rear discs which will not sit further back with the aluminium caliper carriers, so I'd have to have new ones CNC'd. Then the rear width would still be 32mm too wide even after rolling the lips on the wings!

See my problem?

Cheers,

Andy.
