My rear tires are .2" taller than the front. Not supposedly ideal with AWD/front diff but the closest I could get since there are no good 315/25's available.

Avant garde has a few really nice looking wheels.. I looked at them when I was researching wheels. Im also running 295/30/19 in the rear.

They look great on the car. Nice combo with both setups.

What wheels are these and specs? Looks great!

Thanks for the 18" and 19" comparison shots. I currently have 19" and really want to downsize to 18".

I was going through the thread and wow... I had initially failed to notice how much road kill you had going on the bumper hahaha :evil grin:

The 996 Turbo is the perfect solution against zika

Thanks.
SpeedTech 3.0 X-Pipe. It's been on the car for less than 100 miles. Great exhaust with fantastic sound but it will be available for sale in a couple weeks. Just too much for what I use the car for.

Sweet, I figured from the tips it was a Speedtech. I'm running a Speedtech 2.5” quiet with their twin 3” tips. The sound is exactly what I was looking for, if driving normally it just sounds deep and free flowing with a touch of turbo whine. At idle and cruising it could just about pass for stock BUT get on it and it sounds incredible!

I'm guessing the 3.0 X would have definitely been too much for me as well...surely would not have passed the wifey and 9 year old daughter tests

Detailed it the best I could before letting a friend drive his wife from the church to the castle were the wedding party was held. He was happy and I loved it when he admitted he pushed it through a corner so much he felt the rear come out a bit picture taken outside the castle. Just love this piece of beauty!
