Does anyone have any suggestions for getting the stickers off the visors? I haven't tried it yet, but figured I'd ask before doing permanent damage.

Thanks for the info Mark. Those are the same tires and wheel sizes I have on my car.

I'm just trying to decide wether to put spacers on the car or go with 235/275 tires.

I was looking at the 7mm set from H&R. They make some nice stuff. But factory spacers sounds like good stuff too.

Did you get them from a Porsche dealer? How much per pair? Any signs of rubbing...

Wheel Spacers

Been thinking about putting wheel spacers on my 'S' to get a wider track and fill out the wheel arches.
