Would be interested to hear whether you see any signs of rubbing after you've installed the H&R springs. Using the tire size calculator https://tiresize.com/calculator/
looks like your tire diameter is 29" with the 295/30R22. and that tire is flush with the 11" width wheel at the back which is a good thing. Those wheels are wide enough,no need for spacers.
305/25R22 Would give 28" diameter tire and probably similar to the clearance you have now before lowering. Don't know whether I'm better off going for this size but also don't want .a rubber-band for a tire. 3" tire wall is OK, Ive been running 3" RFT's on my BMW for years.
Either way, doesn't look like the SportContact 6 is available in the US in 22" wheel sizes
There was a slight delay processing, had to pay a whopping $67 import duty. No wonder there's a trade deficit, that's less than I would have paid in sales tax. Still i'm not complaining.
Very nicely packaged.
They are darker than I expected, more metallic grey than silver.
When I told them what color my car was perhaps some design genius decided that this color would match.

yes indeed - will have to check this carefully i agree with you about your comments
Not sure if a less than 30mm would feel with the lowering springs
have you decided on the 25mm yet?

That is definitely not Hyper silver - perhaps Shadow chrome - whatever it is - still looks shockingly good
I just had the car machine polished - and the polisher was shocked by how good the wheels looked on the car and how hed never seen them
Lets hope you got them in the US now - that not many ask you where you got them from Keep ours rare !
I hope some of you may consider joining the facebook group ive started for the Panny
I find FB appalling for support for the Panny
There is one group at present before mine.
For example for my boxster - there are at least 8 or so groups.

Not decided on tires yet, still checking out prices. 305/25/22 or 315/25/22 seem to be what most guys who have air suspension go for and those don't rub even on the lowest ride setting. I'm not sure how H&R springs compare for height.
Finally got around to remembering to up this thread with some pics of the car after the drop on H&R springs.
And thoughts
Car drives again a lot better - a lot less crashy in general - the cornering is much more confident with roll hard to feel now.
Road humps do have to be taken slowly and carefully as - reach bump stops on the car and hear loud grounding sounds if not careful.
Otherwise no scraping going over bumps still or when turning.
I ended up buying the Pirelli Scorpion Zero Asimmetrico Rear 295/30/22 - Front 265/35/22 but haven't got around to mounting them yet.
Dragging my feet a little but really just need to get some TPMS sensors now.
Get them on dude ! Be interesting to see with your sidewall height
Ive got some spare TPMS - ill send them to you
Think the postage costs might not make it work !
I haven’t yet man, I just came back from Mexico, but honestly I have champagne taste but want to have a beer budget
Dude - you bought the things - get them on ! Hard work over !
Some Craft beers are expensive but your right you can probably still have a hundred expensive beers for one champagne bottle
AH never mind what am i trying to say !
