Thanks all. I am very happy with the 20's. I know some may think that the 20's are too big for the car but IMHO it is perfect for the 997 Turbo.

To the person that ask what susp. I am running. I am running the H&R Springs. Smoother on the Hwy than the 19's were surprisingly. But around corners it's twitchy now. I am taking it to my alignment guy this week to see what is happening.

Dave(MA02C4S) - Eric at Supreme Power Parts put together some adapter and it worked great. I didn't want a band put on and I didn't want another hole drilled in for the sensor since the angle of valve at the original location didn't allow too much room. He got some angled adapter that worked out perfectly.

I have attached a pic.

I don't think cosmestically I will add anything else for the moment.

dmoney - yes I am running PS2's. My wheel guy Eric hooked me up. Just when I was about to cave in and take the Pirelli's - he came through. I hope to see him on this board soon as a sponsor.

The ride quality is not bad at all. When you are running a 325/25/20 tire don't think the road is going to be like butter But I am very pleased with the ride quality. As posted in the first post the cornering is twitchy and I am sure it has to do with 20's as well as the geometery has changed again so I have to get it dialed in.

Thanks for the words and YES they are finally in!

It's funny I just started running my 20's too and I feel exactly the same way, an alignment may be the trick we shall see. Don't worry about getting pirellis i'm running the same set up as you and they are just as good, what I do like better about the Pzero nero is smaller side walls, good luck with the new shoes Alpine....P.S. I thought you were getting a 9 inch front wheel????
