Oh wait! 15mm on rear?! I was thinking i would like less of a drop upfront, so it wont scrap.

I thought it was 15 front and 20 rears

 

I decided to order the Bilstein PSS 10 suspension. I will just deal with it being a little lower. I will just have to back down a curved driveway rather than going forward. I will not scrape then. I plan on lowering about 3/4"

GMG works with Eibach and recently released a new spring and bar set for our cars.

 

Sorry, man. May not be what you need. I see you have a 7.2 also, which may or may not be an issue as the springs at FVD are specified for 7.1.

 

As mentioned part of the motivation on this mod regards the tire to fender gap. I haven't done springs for the reasons mentioned but I have a question. I've read somewhere that you can slightly upsize the 19 in. tires to a larger cross section. Does anyone know the upgraded sizes and whether it addresses the tire to body visual at all. This is of interest to me as well as I have CL's so I can't use spacers which helps on this issue.

 

Upping your wheel size will not eliminate the gap. Your best bet is to get Coilovers and set the ride height that suits your needs. With proper alignment and corner weighting, the car handles much much better too.

 

GotBoost?
You said a larger tire cross section won't make a difference in tire to fender visual. If I were to go from a 305 to a 325 cross section on the rears the tires side wall height and tire width would increase by about 6.5%. If I changed the fronts from 235 to 245 the tires width and height would increase by about 4.5%. The overall circumference on each would increase 1.8/1.1% respectively which should be in the acceptable variation range on most cars. It seems this would fill up the wheel opening visually while making the tires look a little "bulgier". Has anyone done this and I'm curious how it worked out. Michelin makes the PSS, Ps2 and cup tires in the larger size.

 

Bryan, I have not done the math or check myself but are you sure that going from 305 to 325 increases height by the same percentage as width? Do these 2 tires have same aspect ratio?

There is a tire calculator that gives you exact diameter of specific tire when you enter the 2 tire size parameters, width and aspect ratio. Have you tried that yet? I am curious myself what the increase in diameter is.

Gotboost: hey man, long time no see! I am jealous of your new ride.

 

Here are two links to the comparisons front and rear;

Cannga, I give, the link keeps only showing the last tire compared. In both cases I've kept the aspect ration the same, fronts from 235/35-19 to 245/35-19. Rears from 305/30/-19 to 325/30-19. You can enter the data to the calculator to see the results, it even has a visual comparison as well. As my car has CL's I can't use spacers to help with the visual of tire to fender clearance.

 

Long time my friend. Been out of the scene for a while. Hope all is well with you....

 

All is well. Guess same for you judging by your 991 GT3 acquisition?
I did pick up a V8 PDK M3 to squelch my thirst for an NA engine, so I really don't hate you that much for your wonderful GT3 LOL.

 

Bryan I entered numbers for the rear tire and the increase in size wall, if I am not mistaken, is 0.24 inch. This is not going to reduce the gap that much.


Because of where you live (lots of curvy mountain roads), it might be a good idea to pick up some coilover or lowering springs to do the job of reducing this gap. You will get much improved handling as a bonus.
