The next time I may go to 285s in the rear I know of a few guys running 285s in the rear and on my rims I think it will look even better. The only thing I had to do was zip tie the hand brake cable around the back of the struts to keep it from rubbing on the rim.

I also had to put adjustable toe arms on the rear of the car to bring the toe back within spec,I was going through rear tires in 6000 miles. I had the tire eating issue long before the rims so I believe the toe problem was a result of the lowering not the rims.

Growing up the car magazines said how amazing Porsches are. Was I brainwashed? Somehow...I doubt it.
