Agreed on the 4x4 look!! hahaha the problem are the streets and speed bumps in Mexico City, this makes impossible to use the car as it will rub all the time
Maybe just lower it an inch only will visually look a lot better and still make it over speed bumps without any issues if you drive carefully over it. Again sick wheels!!!
Thanks, it's Platinum Silver Metallic. Tires are 235/35R19 and 295/30R19
I'm partial to the silvers, but every time I see your car, I am impressed. Such a great example of good care and tasteful mods creating a timeless look. Well done, sir. A really fantastic 997.
If I ever went with Silver it has to be Platinum Silver Metallic!!! It's the best looking Silver by far!!
The platinum silver looks like it has a little champagne hue in it. It's very pretty and would be breathtaking with a cocoa interior to bring out the light brown or cold hue that's in it.
I think GT silver is just as pretty but in a different way as it has black in it so looks a little sportier where the platinum looks a little dmdore luxurious or refined.
Hard to go wrong with any of the Porsche silvers or greys - platinum, GT, Meteor, Seal, Arctic, Atlas, etc...
I just went with a set of LMs. I know they are common here but they just suit the car so well.
i installed a B12 pro kit (Eibach springs + Bilstein B8s), unfortunately no meaningful drop, but the car drives so well now and I’m trying to not care because my wife drives the car and it’s a backup daily driver. I have a 991.2 GT3 and E30 M3 that are plenty low and stiff already. Maybe I’ll swap in H&R springs that I have sitting on a shelf.
looking for a advice on wheel fitment, i have 997 C2S (narrow body) and i`m looking at HRE 890R wheels:
Fronts 8.5J 46ET R20
Rears 11J 63ET R20
(i know 19" would look/feel better, but this deal is way too sweet to say no )
I`m 95% sure they will fit, but need some acknowledgement from you guys!
Edited:
P.s if you could help out new 997.1 owner with tyre size advice on these wheels (if they fit) that would be awesome!
Car is lowered on coilovers.
Thank you!
That front wheel is 2mm inboard of the 20x9"ET50 we have sold to a few 997s before, worst case scenario is you will need to move your front strut top mounts inboard on the factory slotted mounting holes to get a few more mm's of clearance. The rear should be a non-issue, you may even end up throwing a spacer on it after you get tires mounted to have it match the front fitment. Something like 235/30-20 and 305/25-20 is likely the tire sizes you want to keep them from being too tall. A 245/35-20 front tire will be far too tall and will hit the fender liners while turning.
