Default Speedline Mistral 5-spoke wheels

Got my Speedline wheels mounted.
My first 3 piece wheel set ever.
17 by 8" 56mm offset.
17 by 9" 44mm offset.
Came off a 944. Is that standard 944 offsets?

Ride height brought back to factory spec.
Near 175mm all around.
Never thought I'd be looking down on those Miatas.

Oh yeah. Pics. Lighting wasn't the best. Will try
and get better pictures.

How does it drive at (4X4) normal ride height? No more man hole cover incidents!!
GT's came with 8"x60mm offset front wheels, but the fender lip is rolled. Fit OK?

Front fitment is a little tight.
Only running 225/45-17's.
May want to roll both front and rear fenders anyway.
Only way to fit those monster truck tires in there.

First day driving her. Giving her a few days to settle the
front before I pass judgement on the SUV ride height.
Car's been up on lifts so often it'll be a while before I get
the front suspension to settle down.

Do they make 928 doorsill step-up plates so I can get in the car.

Cleaned car. Got better light.
2 more side views.





And a front wheel view with all that air above the tires. (175mm ride height)

Looking for warm twisty roads free of potholes and morons.
Witnessed idiot driving headlong into a traffic jam at 20mph into
the back of SUV next to me. And people wonder why I drive with
one eye on rearview mirror.
