I was afraid you were going to ask that. I would suggest checking with your source for the wheels and maybe they can find the original order with what size you have. I don't think you can simply look at the wheel to find the size; however, I can notice by looking at the sidewall that the 295s do seem to be slightly "stretched" to fit the wheel.

Thanks Raffi....I'm really after a minimal drop so the Techart's should be perfect. Just hoping after the springs and change to 305 rears, that I won't need spacers. I should have it all installed by next week and will post some pics. Love that wing by the way....car looks perfect.

WOW that is a really great looking car. I love white cars (maybe because they are less common in my area) but since my last 2 cars have been white I was thinking of going dark with my 1st P car next year, but your pics are making me itch. Maybe I should stick with what I have been loving lately.

Just picked up the car with the installed Techart springs and 305 rears. Wow, what a difference.....absolutely love it. Oh yeah, and the springs are white! I'll post some pics tonight if I get a chance.
Raffi, do you possibly have pics with the spacers you installed?

As promised, here are the pics with the Techart springs installed and the change to 305 rears. Very satisfied with appearance and ride/handling.

No spacers...was thinking about it but lowering and changing from 295s to 305s rears helped tremendously. It's hard to tell from the pics but the rear looks much better now. It could still probably benefit from spacers in both front and back but I'm pretty satisfied for now.
