did you fail to notice the 3 to 4 degrees of negative camber? There's no way it'll do what you are saying.

I'm guessing they're a trademark performance exhaust for the Porsches.

Apparently this is the Four-tube Sports Tailpipe offered by Porsche for fitment with the Cayenne, 911 Turbo, GT2 and Carrera 4S.

It sits outside the fender...while the rear wheel is inside.
The front fender is wider at the top, but not at the bottom. This "exposes" quite a bit of the tire tread when viewed from a front or rear three-quarter angle view. You can see that the lower skirt is not really wider than the 'normal' TechArt side skirt in the front area, just behind the tire. This createds the strange appearance.
I might move the front wheels in about 3mm and the rear out about 4mm, but the overall effect here is pretty good. Also, for a SEMA booth car, I always run different wheel styles on each side of the car- to maximize the exposure and offer a different look on each side of the car.
The TechArt kit is a challenge (I know, I worked for CEC, TechArt's US importer, in 1997 when these kits debuted. Claus had a "Barney Car" as we called it- it was a black Cabriolet with PURPLE interior!!) because it is bonded onto the stock front fenders, and the rear is essentially an "Overfender," but you need to trim some of the OE rear fender to gain tire clearance.
So, iForged has a booth at SEMA this year?
