I have 20" Modulare wheels- they look great and rides not too different.

Sorry I didn't answer your question: yes, the car is a manual and I'm loving it.

It's been raining here in northern California so the car has been in the garage. Once the weather improves, I'll be running it through its gears again.

Awesome looking car! I'm leaning towards 20s because of pics like this!

Just like the poster above me: I'm curious about tire sizes as well.

Additionally: Are you guys ok with low profile tires? For those that have had 19s and 20s, did you feel a significant difference in handling and comfort?

I like the look of the stock wheels but I'd like wider rear tires, 295 or 305 x 19.
My local speed shop says they can cut the stock wheels and widen them to 11.5 that will support 305's with spacers. Has any one had experience with this ... it sounds risky and potentially dangerous to me?
