the driver side (american) rear wheel seems to protrude from the body a bid

Hmmm - interesting. Car even in an accident? I haven't had similar problems
with my GT, and I've put some pretty large wheels on it - although not as
big. I've run (breifly) 15x7 ET35 225-50-15 GS-CS's, and my GT is lower than
yours, I'm pretty sure. I also run 15x6's on the street, ET45, and they fit
well under the arches, and are very even in the rear (my fingers fit in
between the tire and fender, since they're tucked.). However, my dad's 924S
body doesn't sit evenly on the chassis, and looks like it's tilted slightly
from the rear, even though the suspension measures evenly, so it's possible
that the car is twisted (and might have been so its entire existance.
