2.) I do not want to make the gear ratio even longer than it already is. Big wheels look fabulous, but wheels/tire decision should be dictated by performance considerations - if to be a street performance car.
Anyone have any idea who makes a +2 tire that would fit a 14 inch wide, 15 inch diameter wheel?
Easily the single biggest improvement to make a 928 look modern is to ditch the small stock wheels and replace them with at least 18's to help fill-up the wheel wells. Pop GTS mirrors on too, and people think it's a new car from Porsche.

I agree that small wheels look awful and the aspect ratio of the tires can offset change to the final tire circumferance. My choice (maybe a bad one if they will not fit with the brakes) was an economic one. What is the price of 18/19 inch wheels in the 12-14 inch width with +2 tires? I do not have that kind of $$ at this time, given all the other thngs money must go for.

I understand the money-thang, I just wanted to encourage you to buy something which is aesthetically pleasing when you look at the car. At least for me, I consider the 'schwing' factor extremely important when I look at any of my cars. Don't buy something you don't like to look at; save up more money if you have to in order to get what you really want since rims/tires are so important to the look of a car, especially a 928.
