Yeah the rear wheels don't have a lot of room to move out on. My car is already painted so widening the fenders isn't a real option, but how did you do it?

I'm using a full brake kit from cb performance.

I was told that part of the axel lug on the rear could be cut short to make more room, I dunno how much though.

I dunno if I should bring the car back and play with it or let the shop that replaced my suspension/brakes figure it out. I'll have to call them tomorrow and see if they are willing to do anything.

How did I do it?
It's a lot of work. http://www.germanlook.com/Forums/sho...?t=7050&page=8

Your car looks nice. I love the look of Cup 2's on a Ghia.

One word: Inspirational!

I can't wait to see how you do the rest of the car. I had actually seen the pictures of your gauge setup while searching around for pic's of guages. The whole thing makes me want metal working skills. Quick get back to work on it so I can see how it comes out.

Thanks, I actually have a few pictures I've been meaning to add and update the thread. I've just been a little too busy these days.

You can take stock 944 rear spacers (about 22mm or so) and machine them down to about 10mm (I believe) and still keep them hubcentric. I have to check my notes on how thin you can get them, but this is what I did on the bus to fit the 17x9's.

That sounds like a nice option. If you can check how thin they can be machined down that would be great.

EDIT: Looks like cb performance has spacers, although a little smaller than what I was looking for but they might just work. So I'm going to try those out.

We got the cb spacers on. Had to shave a little off the rear axle bolt/nut and might have to cut a little bit off the end of the speedo cable and/or shave a little off the back of the center cap. But other than that everything fits. There is a surprising amount of space for the back tires, not a lot but decent. I'll have to get some detail pic's.
