Nice and thanks.

Thanks. I was told for 19s, the rim specs should be 235/35/19 8J ET 57 for the front and 265/35/19 9.5J ET 46 or 10J ET 42 for the rear. If this is so, aren't your fronts out of the "7mm advisable" range? Asking, not suggesting.

Bumper is stock. The lower portions are not painted, just black plastic. They may be replacements, but I'm not sure.

Opinions are like...lots of shops/mfgs' have their own ideas on the perfect setup.

With a ET57 front offset, your front wheels will be far too sunk into the wheel well for my liking. I prefer more aggressive offsets.

I should be fine, I've had two wheel mfgs tell me my setup would work. Some even suggested more aggressive offsets/tire combo's.

WIth that said, I'm on stock (non PASM, non x73) suspension. I have a good amount of clearance for this forthcoming setup.

Thanks again. I'm thinking of some sort of body makeover just to refresh my 9 plus year old cayman and find the GT4 and techart (not yours) kit a tad much.
