Perhaps I missing something, but why didn't you just swap the stub axles?

AHHHHHHHHH....
on the 99 2.5 5 speed the axle bolts that go to the tranny are 8mm bolts and the cayman uses 10mm bolts. I am going to pull my axles out tomorrow and see if they can be drilled, machined out. If so I will just source the correct 10mm bolt with the right length and hopefully be done with it. I will update later on tomorrow.

AS for the the tires. They got great ratings, have a good tread wear and I don't care about tire noise. My car car is loud already with exhaust, headers, intake and oh yea a 3.4 aaaaaannnnnd vibrates with the solid front mount already.



Updates tomorrow.
