Final decisions on rims !

Clean, before front ride height adjust (done today but too dark to take a shot). The 11.5's look meatier in real life than the shots show

Looking awesome, keep it up! An rkp lip is calling your name.





Btw you kind of inspired me to get a set of 20s. I was always planning on it, but you pushed me to commit. Going with a 275/305 p4s as well. Still plan to keep a set of 21s around though for show.

A few more this morning, one turn drop at the front. I am going to see what the clearance is like with 3mm spacers at the back, this will make the offsets 4mm more aggressive than stock front and rear. Quite a bit of room at the back, this will make the rears et30.


I think you could squeeze in a 12, but fitting a 305 on would for me lose the advantage aesthetically without a 315 to go on. I think a stretch on 21 can look good but on a 20 it looks a little under wheeled stretched. At the front possibly another 3mm as well if you wanted to go a little wider there too. I am happy with the look at the front, I might have gone et27 or et26. But I will add 3mm to the back, to get the fatter look at the back I guess I like the look of older wider 911's that emphasise the rear wheel drive configuration. Shame BMW only widened the front arches over stock 5's and not the back

If I was speccing now and running 275/305 I'd go 10x20 et 27, 11.5x20 et30 I'll confirm the rear clearance over the coming weekend

I agree with the lip been speaking to a few in the UK

et30 will work fine, with 3mm spacers on the back

Well.... I have a change of plan. I have decided to change my car over the next few months, I am going for something sporty to drive everyday (On my own, so no point in four doors and four seats).

I am going for a 911 for everyday (a used 991 or 997) and something nice for the weekends and trips so thinking of a Ferrari FF. The only time I need 2-3 seats is when I am going on a nice trip...

So starting by selling the new wheels, I can put the old ones on which have good but smaller tyres as I am discussing PX etc. I don't think I will pull the trigger until after xmas.

PM if you are interested.... 20x10 et28, 11.5x20 et33 with brand new Michelin Pilot Sport 4s 305/30 275/35. They were fitted 300 miles ago

These are now sold subject to payment. Haven't found the right 911, yet was interested in one, but the dealer offered a and I couldn't agree a sensible price on the nice but 5 year old 911...

By the way if anyone is interested in the car, PM me I will be looking for £41k with suspension (KW V3, Dinan roll bars) and rear diffuser. £39.5k back to stock. The What Car guide quotes £39k for a PX
