How are you keeping it from rubbing the oil line in the passenger side? My 17" w/255 barely dont rub the big line and its the flattened version.

Wow - 285! I'm impressed - my 265's on 18" rims are super tight!

Rims look great!

I just got the correct offsets and haven't had any rubbing issues. I am using a ET47 on the rears.

If someone would have told me they were considering turbo twist IIs for their 964, I would have been sceptical. However, I think they look much better than I would have expected. Nice!

The ride is a little bit less comfortable than with the 16's but it isn't bad. I'll try to take a picture like that tommorow.
