haha yeah it ties my head up in knots too

i really want to run these 17x8 with ET 26 & 17x9 with Et 14. The fronts will fit perfect with just a small amount of poke. However the rears will 40mm more than that what ive got wiht the porsche wheels on. I could camber them, but it would have ot be massive amounts of camber....which could look stupid. Or get smaller dishes so they would be 8s all round ans space the rears out a bit more or get 8.5J(not sure what the ET would be then). Arch work is not a possibility wiht the car only being in bodyshop in the summer, so I dont want to have the car back in and get the arches repainted.

What tyres are you running on the Porsche rims?

205/40

falkens on the front and they have stretched really well, alot better than the hankooks on the rear and they are the same profile. So im gunna get falkens all round or look into 195/40 for the rear.
