Default 17" and 18" wheel picture thread
Please post your pics of your car with 17" or 18" inch wheels and note how much you have lowered the car if at all. Also note if the tires rub or any problems. Thanks.

Ah and one more thing. Has anyone used 993 turbo 18" hollow spoke rims before? Those catch my fancy.

Default Sport Design
18" Sport Designs 10" rear 8.5" front.

Spacers front & rear to fill out fender wells, 1.5" and 2" repsectively.

Not lowered but needs to be for the right stance, first pic is on a slight curb so she looks a bit higher than she is. Second pic on level ground for reference.

Please excuse the garage and dirty car

An old pic from last year.

Lowered quite a bit, don't have the amount handy. No rub at all. Car has a fairly high spring rate front and rear.

1.5" and 2" spacers? Do you know how much rotaional mass you've added to that car? I hope you don't plan to track it with those on there.
