The height of you car with the old wheels looks about right to somewhat low in front. So, it probably just needs to settle. In a couple of days, measure the height. IMHO, with stock suspension, at least 160 in front provides better ride and handling with no bottoming in twisty corners.
I do like the new wheels. They look like they might be out a bit too much in front - hard to tell from the angle of the pictures.

Those look really good, I like how you matched the calipers.

TSW/ Discount tire has them. I should warn you that the offset in the front is a little extreme. The tires end up right inside the fenders. They don't rub but I would have ordered them with a slightly larger offset If I had known prior. TSW's web site shows that they can be ordered in a range of offsets. The tires are 225/35r18 in the front so they are like rubber band thick but surprisingly compliant in ride.
The rears are perfect, no spacers required. they fill-out the fenders well.
You could fit a larger wheel/tire In the rear but 275 s are good in my opinion.
Never the less they look great and I am happy with the outcome and the price.

Which Falkens are those? Last year I put a set of Falken RT615's on my S2 and I'll probably replace them in 2007.
With another set of RT615'S!
Yes, they wear quick. The treadwear number is only 200, so you are going to kill them quick. These are the hot tip at autocrosses around the country right now, since they are reasonably soft, yet tend to wear pretty even. Mine are by far (!) the best set of shoes I've put on this car period. The difference in grip between these and the Bridgestones and the Yokos I've owned before is amazing!
There is ONE tire for street Porsche 928's: Falken RT-615!
