tomc_mets Yeap. Its 3M Satin Dark Gray ( Rear Turbo Wing is painted at this color... High Temps would cause a lot of bubbles )

I have bookmarked twisty routes I've built. Drive it, make a few route notes/modifications, drive it again, look for more routes, drive them, rinse and repeat.

What sizes wheel and rubber did you go with?

I am about to buy some OZ Ultraleggera HLT CL wheels for my identical GTS and have chosen the stock size 8.5x19 ET53 with 235/35/ZR19 MPSC4 for the fronts. The offset should push the sidewall out nearly flush with the wheel well lip with no issues. One Rennlist member put 9x19 on the front and 12x19 on the rear with no rubbing- and he has SPORT PASM, which is 10mm lower than my PASM.

The rears, however provide a choice between 12x19 ET48 with either 305 or 325 MPSC4 (two RL members reported no rubbing problems with either choice). Which size tire did you go with?

I'm running 245/35 MPS4S in the front and 305/30 PS4S in the rear. The car is currently on Eibach springs and there are no issues with rubbing. My car can go much lower in the rear.



OZ Superforgiata
Front: 19 x 8.5J +53mm, 7.93kg 235/35/19
Rear: 19 x 12J +48mm, 9.97kg 305/30/19
NO RUBBING W/ SPASM (-20mm)

Cool. I drive potential new routes first in the wife's truck to assess whether they are Porsche worthy!

Going down the corkscrew at Laguna Seca on my first track day yesterday. So much fun. I'll get a proper number decal for the next one.

Photoshop that number off, clean up the image a bit while youre in there and frame it. Thats a cool photo with a cool memory attached for sure!
