I do also have a 991.2 wheel with the multifunction buttons too though haha! I might end up putting that one on and adding a porsche gps tech box to add multi functionality use with my PCM.

Edit: I will say too, the installation of the wheel takes about 5 minutes. Not kidding. You pop the airbag off, unclip the harness, unscrew the 55 Torx bolt, swap wheels, plug in the harnesses and torque the 55torx bolt back in. Job done. Sooooo easy.
Glad to hear the install was easy. I bought the same wheel + airbag the other day from another seller and cant wait for it to come in.

Installed wheel spacers 7mm front and 15mm rear

Carrera S II wheels on 997.2 C2S narrow body
- Front - 8 x 19 ET 57
- Rear - 11 x 19 ET 67

Michelin PS4S
- 235/35/19
- 295/30/19

I have seen many people say 295 on 11” wide looks stretched but I feel it looks perfect. I think 305’s would bulge a little. I’d say the fronts could go with 10-12mm spacers for a more flush setup, 15mm on the rears are perfect for these wheel offsets and tyre size.

On a side note, can anyone tell from these pics whether it looks like I have Sports PASM, or regular PASM from the ride height?

I am going to guess Sports PASM. Am I right? Do I win something?
Here is my car OEM with the Sports PASM and 305s before adding anything (OEM springs/No spacers...on new PS4S 305s and 235s in the front):

Took the car to the shop for a simple oil change & trans fluid change. Well it turns out not so simple after all. Got an email that there was an oil leak.
Got new RMS seal & IMS seal. Had the clutch done while they were at it. It was due anyway.
Finally pick her up and $3800 lighter on the wallet...

New IMS seal? I have never heard of people replacing the IMS seal. Removing yes replacing no. Please clarify.

Agree. You should remove the seal.

yeah, I was baffled when I got home & saw IMS seal on the invoice. Only seal I see got billed was the RMS seal.

Hi Thomas - like a panty raid on a retirement home, it all depends.

How many miles?
What year?
Existing warranty ?
Location can also be a factor. Some will write sight unseen - some require inspection based on the above.

For most people it may not be a viable option or an option at all.

There are two well known Fidelity sellers for Rennlist

Michael at Mossy - mjourdan@mossymotors.com

and Troy tdietrich@toyotaofgreenfield.com

Price will be about the same but I've seen that sometimes one will feel more comfortable writing a warranty on one car where the other will not.

Things that worked in my favor - low miles, an existing warranty and loads of documentation to both of those facts.

A lot of people have the opinion that 19" is the limit but I am liking 20" more and more everyday. Those wheels look great.
