Default Need to see silver Cayman's with aftermarket wheels.

Need to see silver Cayman's with aftermarket wheels. My wife is due for tires after 50k miles. I'm thinking of using this as an excuse to upgrade to bigger and better wheels. Other color cars welcome.

Please provide model names, tire sizes and suspension set-up info if possible.

Thanks ahead of time.

Are their space limitations on the Cayman fenders?

I often wonder why the Caymans seem to run on smaller rims than the 997s.

Because we don't need to compensate for having the engine in the wrong place!

The largest size for a cayman in the rear is about 10.5 while the front is the same as a 997.

A good idea is to check out tire rack web site you can use the site to see how they look on your car

Been there, done that. Not the best selection for Porsche's. I use Tire Rack quite often, but not this time.

Mainly the reason I need to see what they look like and what set up they are using. I've seen some Shaq Daddy set-ups that look like there might be some major wheel rub.
