Nola- What size tires are you running in the rear?

Euclid- What size tires are you running in the rear?

I am debating between the 295/30s and 305/30s. I have a 67mm offset on a 11x19 so I can fit either one.

Thanks,

TDK

Primary advantages of a Porsche are it's looks and handling. Why make it look worst and handle worst by adding 19's without properly lowering it (just add H&R springs to stock suspension????)?

H&R springs will handle worse at speed...if you want looks and performance you need coilovers.

I totally agree. I think the H&R is the broken link in my setup. As soon as I shake a couple bucks of the ole money tree, I will be upgrading for sure. In the meantime it looks great.

295/30 is what I just took off, I was rubbing when fully compressed. I have to look at what I ended up with, dont remember
