You got 245 series rubber on the back? Why so skinny? Maybe I read your post wrong.

Looks awesome! If I didn't like my power/heated seats, I would seriously considered finding a set of those.

What kind of wheel spacers did you have to put on to prevent rubbing when you went from 17's to those very nice 18's?

Lapper: Love the wheels. Does your right cheek bump into seat bolster/rail upon entry?

Great package.

yeah getting in your bum does take a few bumps. The side bolster is stiffer than it looks. But you develop a method unless you haven't had that cup of coffee yet after a long Sunday night.

RN,
no wheel spacers needed to go to 18" as long as you keep it at 9" width in the back. Everyone seems to agree spacer are not good if you plan to track or autocross. I got some incorrect advice from Frisby Race Tire on tire size.
the rears will be going up front and a set of 275's will go in back. Any body want to buy some 225's?

p.s. 29psi all around was recomended for the 70mph AutoX.
26F and 32R for daily driving recomended by the tech at the Porsche dealer.
