Aaron, thanks for the great pics! Man, that must have been about 60K in wheels! Let me ask you a question regarding function; I know all the wheels you had were relatively lightweight but did you notice the weight differential between the various wheels when driving the car? And if so, which ones felt the lightest and which ones really made the car feel heavy/slow? Thanks!

Good questions Stan, all my wheels were around the same weight, but the biggest difference I felt was when I went from the Cargraphic wheel to the HRE C20. The Cargraphic was definitely the heaviest and I knew it as soon as I accelerated onto the freeway on-ramp after the install. The car felt sluggish and heavy. When I got the C20's on it felt so much lighter and quicker. Every other wheel didn't have any noticeable negative effect.

Hi Aaron,

Thanks for the 911 biography.... I'm glad it was you & not me!
Are you running wheel spacers with the +48 offsets?

V35 you are crazy! You buy new wheels faster than my wife buying new bags. Lol

If you do not mind me asking, what spec did you run on the lm? I love how flush your car sits on the rims!

upon further research using the search button, I came up with this result:

Specs:
Dunlop Sport Maxx GT
235/35/19
295/30/19

BBS LM
19x8.5 +55
19x11.0 +50


(sorry didn't mean to stalk you, LOL)

another question, is any spacer used in the setup?

On the Work Meister S1 setup, I am running a 4mm spacer in the rear, and a 7mm spacer in front for a final offset of +41 front +44 rear. No rubbing.

On those pics, I am running a 10mm spacer in the rear, so final offset was +40. There was excessive rubbing with that setup though. Rear fenders are not rolled.

In your opinion, what spec would you say is a flush and aggressive fitment on the nb c2s if I am looking to purchase a bbs lm down the road? I really like the lm on your car but at the same time don't want it to rub.

The 19x11 +50 with a 295/30/19 or even 305/30/19 is as aggressive as it gets for the LM without rubbing.
