Copy that, thanks for confirming the tire specs. You are correct, 235/40-18 / 315/30-18 works well and is another popular tire configuration. Track enthusiasts and racers with negative camber dialed in will opt for our 9" front wheels to support wider 255/35-18's. This helps reduce understeer and improve turn-in.

^YES!!! I love that! Looks Iike a 996 GT3 Touring. The color of the wheels and car go very well together. This might have convinced me I need the Aerokit II front bumper and side skirts.

Thank you. I will put my gt3 tail back on, as it will look appropriate now. 5 spoke wheels didn't look aggressive enough imo, to justify tail.

funny you mention Gt3 Touring. Spoke with original sales person who said owner was looking for just that. With all the add ons, X51, PSE, full carbon interior, complete gt3 aerokit and no PSM, could have had a GT3. But wanted something more 'comfortable' and useable.
my bro has the real deal.🤤
