anyways, car looks nice, just might wanna learn your car better.
First off im not clueless as to what the shop did, he asked me the size of my tires, they are 19” but i forgot the particulars on them. I asked the shop about the spacers and they said i may not need them. Ill take some shots of the car and may be someone can tell me what they think.

I have built plenty of race cars, motorcycles , karts etc.. i forget the wheel size and im clueless. may be you should go back to the BMW forums.

Love your wheels too!
Ill shoot some photos and post them up, thanks for the offer.

Just settle down Came from two E46 M3's.and saw all kinds of similar questions on that forum. Not everyone had the answers to any and all questions. The questions you refer to are not the typical questions here but not at all unheard of . And I say this based on the join date of mine here (2007). A wealth of knowledge here about 997's and P-cars in general. And that's an understatement. Just like the BMW forums though, new owners come here to learn, not to be belittled of what they don't know. Nobody here knows everything about these cars but give him or her a break and share what you know. They'll thank you for it.

No need for me to settle down as I'm not excited in the least bit. Yes, every forum has similar questions but I have noticed it more in this one opposed to others. New member or not, some things you just have to know imo. I'm not asking that you know compression numbers and gear ratios... but tire sizing and wheel/offset dimensions is a given on a car like this, If you're modding it. I needed help at some point too learning that stuff, but I was 16 and had a 81 vw rabbit.
