The first being 18" turbo Twist that came from the factory. Sold them only because I had an incredible offer on them. I was given a set of 2001 17" Boxster wheels as part of the deal. Now just recently (2-3months ago) bought a set of 18" O.Z. Racing wheels. I’ve gone through over 10sets of different tires/brands/models. I’ve used standard sizes for the most part. The only time that a non standard size was used was on the 17" Boxster wheels. I ran a 225/45/17 in the front rather than a 205/50/17. Right now I am thinking about pushing a 285/30/18 in the rears on my 18X10s for my net set coming up soon. The car was bought new with an extended warranty that just ended 9/10/05 .

Oh almost forgot the car has had 3 different suspension set ups as well.... 1st being the stock. 2nd was H&R Springs with Bilstein Shocks. Now running Bilstein PSS9... Next comes the H&R Coilovers....
Jim, any thoughts?
