Looks great! Probably passes the driveway apron test. If you car is too low it fails the test and cost a lot of money!

I'm running standard size rubber; 205/50/17 on the fronts and 255/40/17 on the rears

FWIW, many moons ago I used to want 18s, feeling somehow my 17s were inadequate (blame that on you folks who post great pics!). That was when I had it at stock ride height. Once I did the PSS9s (loooong ago), I realized how good the stock CupIIs look. These fill the the wheel wells perfectly, IMHO, and look "more correct" (if that's possible

Hey nr1416,
When the time comes to replace tires, you may want to go to 225/45 up front. The wider rubber along with the 255 rears really helps sharpen the turn-in and balance the overall handling of the car, IMHO. And it's the same overall tire height as the 205/50 so no worries with fitment. Just an FYI, mind you...

Looks similar in height to mine (Techart springs)...and as others have stated, once you put 18's on it will look great.

You may scrape a little here and there. Just need to be a little careful. It looks perfect.

Yeah man. That's my back-up set you're looking at. Got me some 3.6 while ago but haven't updated pics. Nam
Agreed P-daddy. A nice set of Cup II's without tires is being shipped to me tomorrow. Going to repair and paint them a Lexus meteor grey pearl, a very deep looking finish
They are going to be my second set of wheels so far, however, I plan on finding a set of carrera classics like yours. I <3 wheels/tires![Big Grin](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/biggrin.gif)
