Much thanks. By the way, your forged wheels look amazing.
Am running Michelin Pilot Super Sport - 235/35 19's and 305/30 19's. Was surprised, and relieved the tires still have plenty of tread. Thought I would need new tires by now, whew!!
Further, on sticking with 305's on the 19x12's - I essentially followed what Clubber (Driven 34) did on his 997.2. Great when good folks share details on their tried and true builds

Thanks, I like my wheels as well. Your wheels look great. My rears are 19x12, like yours, but I am running 315/30-19 Pilot Sport Cup 2. My tires look a bit stretched; how do your 305's look on the
19x12's ?

I think the PSS may be a little beefier in general.

Thanks guys. I'm actually going to be out of town for the next few weeks but I'm always willing to meet up with fellow Rennlisters. Shoot me a PM and we can all get together at Alice's for a run or somewhere when I return.

Would be interested in seeing your wheels in person as well.
I’m local at Belmont.
seriously eyeing a set of the Work Brombacher which is step lip mesh similar to yours.

Does anyone with a cab have bbs e88 installed? I know it’s a Motorsport wheel and might seem like overkill for a cab that won’t see the track. I haven’t come across a pic of one yet.
Just checking
