Looks great though.

375's huh

So I guess this is like putting a S 500 badge on an S 430

WheelB for reference here is the correct spacing for the 500 badges

Its even worse actually, the stock 325/30/19 Cup+ fitted to GT2s has 12.8" of rear tread width, so the 375 adds about 1/3rd of an inch of tread on the road for a claimed extra 50mm (375-325) on the section which should be over 2 inches......

Hmmmm. The nitto 345 on 13 inches wide rim looked overstretched but these look good. Lol it may only come down to a few extra centimetres but the visual effect is worth it.

Yes Pirelli's value of 375 isn't 100% accurate but the effect is all there

hot nikon is infamous around these parts
I love bright HRE wheels, a great contrast to the exterior. Too many dark 911's are running painted wheels, too much dark, not enough pop.

Nice job.

I have both, Dark and Brushed finish. Love the Brushed finish! Really does look great when they are clean. But after 2 days the brake dust is everywhere! The other set is brushed with dark tinted clear.

Does the size incur any problems with the ABS, PASM and AWD systems. I was under the impression that anything bigger than 325 would fry the front differential.
