Here's my early 99 C2 on several wheels. no spacers on these, straight wheels to hubs. Lowered with H&R Sports (blue) and KONI adjustable shocks. Perfect ride and height for daily duty
The gloss black inside and out powdercoated Carrera IIs are off the car and FS if anyone is interested.
Lowpue I love that yellow beast of yours. Even better knowing whats under the lid.
Audidude the Carrera IIs are looking good spaced out, I always wanted to pick up some spacers on mine. All my pics are without spacers on the GT3 and BBS Carrera IIs. (except the one with my G35 coupe)
85 eurocarrera your silver aero is beautiful on the GT3s.
I run larger than oem tire sizes because I prefer a little more tire. OEM GT3 size fronts at 245/40/18 and currently 275/40/18 on the rear. The black wheel pics are on 265/35/18 OEM rear size. I love the ride and she is very responsive, but not punishing on long drives..as you can see there have been a few in the last year and a half. #GetOutAndDrive

Best value is Bilstein B8s, which is what I have, which are a factory spec match for the short H&Rs AFAIK. If going coilovers, Ohlins hard to beat. Personally I'd only go coilovers if doing lots of track work at different tracks.

It was quite a few years ago, they're getting a little tatty now.

I really like Apex wheels, I wish there was more variety for our bolt pattern or they made a 5 spoke.

I am sorry to bring this back to the Carrera II rims, but I just can't get a definitive answer.
Putting on Carrera II rims on a 996.1 NB Carrera 4, I can go to 285 without rolling the fenders? I am being told Carrera 4 is different from the 2 and I have to keep the 225 in the front and 265 in the back for proper balance of understeer and for the all wheel drive system.
This bogus, or I can go 285 in the back?

This is exactly what I want (in 18"). Which spacers are you using on your 996.1 C2?
