Thanks guys! The 19s are ok actually... not too hard at all i think thats got to do with the H&Rs maybe. Even the 25 profiles at the rear dont seem to be that harsh... howeveri think i will raise the rear very slightly to let the rear wheels be more forgiving on bumpy roads- its skips a little.... any ideas? perhaps i lower the pressures as well.

Wow that is freaking sick!
I would be EXTREMELY careful lowering your tire pressure, as you are only running a 25profile, by lowering the tire pressure the side wall of the tires will now have much less "give" and an impact or blow from a pothole or manhole has to now be absorbed by the wheel instead of the tire's side wall - which is what causes these high dollar wheels to bend. This is a VERY fine balance to achieve when running these ultra low profile tires. Ask me how I know!
Good luck and be careful...I am sure you have a King's Ransom wrapped on those boots.

Beautiful Miles. I'd, actually, try to raise the rear ride height a bit so it has a nice rake to it. Slownrusty is right, don't lower the tire pressures on the 19" wheels.

yes thats right its needs some rake to it. These cargrahpics are from a 996Turbo but the offset wasnt right- the fronts stuck out too much and rears too far in so i bought wider outer dishes and swapped the centre stars over and walla.... perfect fit front and rear so now i will go back to my alignment guy and get him to put in a rake.
I am running 39psi rear and 34 upfront (235/35/19) is that cool you think? thats what michelan reccomened but couldnt find yoko rating... same i guess.
good point on the bending - i need to be careful- i did notice on the old rear outer rims one was ever so slight bent and they are 265GBP + 100 fitting a peice....
