What tires did you end up with? Tires have varying load ratings and some 18's may have stiffer sidewalls than 19's.

I am thinking about getting the same setup for mine. Thanks for your input.

I was only going to use 18s in P2s just like the 19s that came on the car. But two wheel/tire porsche places talked me out of switching to 18s. I still feel that 18s would give a more comfortable ride, but it is tough to go against the experts.....they say it is all suspension. However with my '06 M3, the 18s really rode much better than the 19s that came on the car. But the M3 needed some better looking rims, whereas I am not so sure the turbo would look better with different rims. Plus then the storage of the original tires/rims which are needed when you trade.
