Default New shoes for my '86

Finally got around to washing the car decently, and installed the MY02 replica wheels that I got from Mark Benton. I've also got some sport seats that I need to recover and install, but that's another project.

Figured everyone would like a peek at my car after I got it from Stan.

A great wheel selection Jon, now you can start driving it hard with the snows removed, those new rotors sure do rust, they are zimmermans

I'll upgrade the brakes once these are getting to the end of thier life. I'd like to see if I can't put something like calipers from a Cayenne on the car. I know some people use them on 911s.

Great looking gem!
Maybe lowering it a little?

Steve, the car is still sitting high from jacking it up, it's not completely settled in those pictures. Actually, it's still not completely settled as of driving it to work this morning. The rear is, but not the front.

Mark, I had to run a small spacer. I think it's a 5/16" spacer. Worked perfect. Thanks again!

Those are 295s. Fronts are 245, but they are too wide for that wheel. Well, especially that wheel on a 928! I'm gonna go down to a 225 once they are done. I'll keep the fat rubber out back though. Gonna need some rubber and a limited slip for when it gets boosted.

BFG G-Force KD, 245/40 and 295/35. They run a little wide as far as I can tell.

Do the 245's stick past the fender?

What is your ride height at?
