Sorry for hijacking your thread.

yea what doug said, and depending on the offset of the wheel you can probably get away with stock fenders, but I'm not to sure I never really paid this too much attention as Im not going to use porsche wheels. But a search should give some examples of people getting away with it.

I know that most porsche rims have a et of about 52-55 and I remember that lanner wrote an article awhile back that said he got 7 wide rims with et of 42-46 to fit later irs bugs with some spacing, so because the early prosche arms seems to increase the track about 12mm you could probably use the porsche rims, with some spacers, and the early arms. I don't know how well the later arms would do.
