You don't have rubbing issues using 19"s w/ it lowered?

rubbing

So far no rubbing issues. I'm going to let susp settle for another few days and then make final adjustments along with complete alignment and corner balance.

Impressive, looks like I"ll have to go up in rubber sizes too...I was under the impression that 235 F & 265 R were the widest we can go on our 987s....looks like I was wrong. Do you by chance know the offsets of the wheels?

I also love your drop as well....I need to get rid of my H&R springs

I dont think the wheels are chrome, they look silver with a diamond cut mesh. BBS sent me 19" LMRs in silver I like them.

wheels

Wheels are not chrome - machined alum finish w/ clear coat. Vellano wheels are fully forged - centers and barrels. I'll get the offsets from Vellano & post them. I could actually run 255 & 295"s with the wheels. Next up is a limited slip install, IPD intake and software.

Ride is slightly stiffer than stock but much better steering response and 0 body roll. Go kart handling without harshness. I've been playing with tire pressures the past week and have them dialed in now. I'll be dropping the rear slightly this weekend and doing some minor shock adj - mainly rebound followed by 4 wheel alignment. Very happy w/ this setup. I'll probably upgrade to 255 and 295 tire sizes on next set.

I considered 20's but there is limited tire sizes to keep close to stock rolling diameters plus weight goes up w/ 20's. With the 19's I'm within a few mm of stock diameters so my speedo is only off 2 mph at 75. I'm running 35 series but w/20's you'd need 30 series w/ more ride harshness and greater possibility of bending wheels.
