comparing 19 inch to 18 inch wheels. Very strange results

Interesting, thanks for posting.

 

Interesting article and that is exactly why I went from 19" ot 18", Germans do know what is best

 

Go figure that after building 911's for 40 years the factory would know exactly what wheels and tires to put on the car.

 

Thanks for posting this.

 

This statement is tremendously true. While guys with serious seat time on the track can work with their mechanics to make minute adjustments to get the most out of their car (the way they drive it), most people hurt the handling of the car by going to Joe the Mechanic to put on a set of coil-overs.

 

Excellent post 951!

 

I just happened to find this article. Funny thing is that I was looking for it a few months back. I had this article in a magazine many years ago, but lost the mag (circa 2004 or so). I was searching for something else and it popped up. Funny.

 

Watch for the bail out of the 19 and 20 inch wheels....looking slick can have its downside. I never could see the advantage of putting less rubber between me and the road...rides harder, wheels get bent easier in potholes etc.

Great article. I agree that the Porsche engineers had something in mind when they designed them with the 18's.
