Got me some new shoes!

After a long year of procastination I finally pulled the trigger on some 19" ruger mesh's for my 996tt.
Below are some pictures I snapped in between some showers.

I am extremely happy with my choice which is all that matters. Hope some of you like it as well!

Nice looking car! Looks great!


Do you think you need to run wheel spacers in the front or rear? If so, please share how you accomplished this.

No need for spacers the ET 45 and E40 on these size wheels gives me as flush or even better than my OEM twists with 15MM all around

I'm very interested in seeing how flush the rears are with the E40.
I have the same rims in silver but my rears are E52. I'm trying to decide between a 10 or 15mm spacer.
Any rubbing with the E40 and 305's.

Thanks

BTW why didn't you go with a 245 upfront?
