I wouldn't change the aspect ratio on the rears - stick with 30's . However, I would recommend going with 275's instead of 265's . IMO it strikes a better balance with 235's up front.

Hi Pete,
Where abouts in Essex are you - I've been following this thread with baited breath, can't wait to see the outcome. Not sure how you function on so little sleep. You post are funny though. At least you have Johnny D on the case - can't go wrong there

Good Luck Pete. i'll look forward to the pictures. I'm in Brentwood.

Porsche Pete · 02-26-2013, 08:41 AM

That made me chuckle ...!!!! Brill..

Have had a good offer on the Carerra LWs and a chap is coming up Friday
so will all work out in the end..

He has a 1999 Carrera 2 - 3.4 996 narrow body so hopefully the 18s will fit straight on.
If anybody knows ?? 18" 50ET front and 65ET rear

They should fit fine . That's what they designed for.

By the way, once you get your new wheels on and everything is dialed in just right, I suggest moving your steering over to the left side where it belongs. The driving experince is much better that way !

Next you will be telling him to speak/write Americaaain...
If you go to the UK you might be considered "brill"!
In addition this thread is "well sorted".
Internet dictionary needed - just hover your cursor over the appropriate word for translation. Right LOL

Porsche Pete · 03-06-2013, 01:47 PM

Well two of the wheels have turned up today..so have given them a coat of Rimwax before i fit them on...Look good...although i am suprised or not? they are made in China !

Slang... What would we do without it?

Like dude I got trashed the other night just chillin with this sweet hooker that was all juiced-up, for real, as soon as she said her ex was busted for pushing weed and is now in the slammer, and that he knocked her up, I bailed faster than a New York minute.

Are you getting gangsta on us ?

Yo, Yo, Yo, what up Biatch!

Jbocio · 03-09-2013, 09:02 AM

I've been contemplating purchasing these for a while. I finally pulled the trigger yesterday. Can't wait to get them (and see how they look on Pete's ride).
If anybody liked the Zehn's I found that the cheapest place to get them right now is Discount tire direct.

They have a coupon for 70 bucks off all Victor Equipment until March 31st, as well as free shipping. It is $1050 for the set (18 inch). I also ended up trying out the Hankook V12's, which received a free mounting and balancing job.
