Hilarious...I was actually wondering what a porsche would look like on 13's while I was reading this thread!

I'm thinking that the tires need a little whitewall to complete the ensemble...looks hot though.

Hittin' the switches with the 3-wheel motion? anyone?

Looks like a monster garage creation. Product of 3 hillbillys and 2 west coast fabricators.....

A few observations:
- No rubbing
- Great ride quality (the 18s with Rossos had a bumpier ride)

Just wanted to share a crappy cell-phone pic...

Congrats....in my opinion it would look better lower....but may not fit...oh and you must have had bent rims to think 20s on WAY less rubber has a smoother ride...what you probably feel is there is no bends in the rims...yet....I think the car would look better with skirts and GT3 or TT front bumper.

I didn't know that 20' would look that good! I like them a lot...and you don't have to lower the P....think that if you do you will "rubb"

IMHO 20's do look too big on a P cars still. The rears not so bad, but the fronts look out of place. Lowering the car still is needed to give it that tuck look and more importantly bring the entire car back down to the ground, way too much clearance going on here. I do see problems with rubbing if you do lower it though, but I am not sure since I have not experienced 20's on my car or anyone else's. But each to there own and I won't say it is wrong, just not what I would do.

Here's about the only Porsche with 20's that I like (the orange one that is): https://rennlist.com/forums/showthre...ferrerid=54027

Spud - Welcome to Rennlist. Nice looking ride! I would suggest that you "harvest those pumpkins" on the front and install some clear side makrers. BTW - What year is your car and what options does it have?
