i like that you were able to fit them without having to go to narrow rubber.

what is your rear camber and ride height?

for parking brake cables, there is an oem clip for that purpose, sold for the * i think * 996 turbo, but damned if i can find the part # right now.
My original calculations (from another post):
Front 205/50/17 on a 7 inch wheel with 55 offset.

Rear 255/40/17 on an 8.5 inch wheel with 50 offset.

If want to install the 911 Sport Design wheels:

Front 235/35/19 on an 8.5 inch wheel with 55 offset = +19 mm inside, and +19 mm outside increase.

Rear 305/30/19 on an 11.5 inch wheel with 67 offset = +57 mm inside and +19 mm outside

I assume that front might be okay, but I should install at least a 7 or 10 mm spacer.

For the rear I need at least 1.5 inch spacer that will leave (38mm - 57mm) about 19 mm closer to the strut.

My question is, can I use the size spacers as I've selected, or do I need to go bigger?
"

These are 6 mm closer to the strut than original rear wheels.

They are supposed to be 1.2 inches taller, but they are actually only 1/2 inch taller. The car is barely any taller, and my speedo is still off in the other direction. So, 80 mph is 79 actual speed.
