NSXTC,
Nice ride and nice colour. Black is beautiful. You managed to squeeze 285 into 9.5 inch rears?

NSXTC -- very nice.

What are you guys running 18s doing with your suspensions designed around 16s?

I rechecked the specs...it's 10" rears. Below are the offsets for those interested.

F: 8.5 x18 225/40/18 ET 21
R: 10x18 285/30/18 ET 15

I think next round, I'm going with 996 GT3 specs...295 and 235.

NSXTC,
From what I understand, the max you can go with 10inch are 285's.

It depends on the manufacturer of the tire and its construction. TireRack has specs on all the tires it carries. Strongly suggest you follow the manufacturer's recommendations for best performance and longevity. My $.02.

Jastx-

Those fuchs look fantastic. They look like they were recently refinished and repainted. Im getting mine redone on my 951 soon. I hope they turn out half as good as those.

Personally my two favorite wheels on a 930 are the factory Fuchs with color matched centers and the 17" Ruf speedlines. Both are very classic and timeless looks imo.
