i have been told 924 is 1685mm which is 66 inches roughly...mmmm the subframe and track i have are 67-68 " wide on the front and same on the rear...so about an inch wider each side ish...i was thinking japenese arch spat tops you see on the corrola ae86,to bolt on to cover wheel tops as i will be using 19" 8j wheel,as dont really want to get in to the gt carrera kits...whats your thoughts...preparing my self to be flamed...

I'm going to go the route of racing fender flares. something like a D-prod.
But why are you changing out the drivetrain?
