The offsets looks perfect! Are you running spacers?

No spacers. Can't recall the offset.

That's the one (although it's on Saturday per the name). I won't return until the we get a real break in the weather and salt washed off the roads though. I'll keep you posted!

Usually the offset is stamped next to the valve stem if you are interested in sharing what they are.

I have 20's on mine and I think it's fine, don't feel any noticable difference between 19's and 20's. Tires makes a huge difference. I have toyo's on my previous 19's and they were loud and not as comfortable as my 20's on Michelin PS2's. The only problem I see with 20's is that you don't have many options, I'm running 325 in the rear and it's nearly impossible to find anything that fits. Pricey as well.

Yeah that's what I'm seeing. Only two options for 20" fitment on tire rack and they're $$$$

He avoided the "rubber band" look with his selection of tires.

I did see this before but thanks for bringing it back to my attention. They really look great don't they!?! I've spoken to a few shops (where interestingly one had a 997 driver/owners) and they emphatically recommended sticking with 19's.

The only thing I've found that I notice when I see 20s on a 997 is that it makes the rotors look tiny.
