Wow :drool:

Everything looks great Ryan. Like the tires too.

Looks great.... I have the same rims.

A 275/35/18 will give you a little more traction (more sidewall to flex) if you are having difficulties putting the power down. Maybe a thought when the 285's wear out.

So do those KD's kick butt or what? You should post your observations on the new combo in the suspension/tires section. Not many reviews to share on the KD's.... would be great to hear more about them.

Thanks for the compliments everyone.

I thought about getting the 275/35s. I'm currently not having a problem with traction, so for now, I made the right choice. When I go single, I may give them a shot.

I did however go to a Porsche Club autocross last weekend and didn't notice a big handling imbalance...at the same time beating the closest porsche by over 6 seconds. Poseurs. :D
True that! I think I'll have to invest in a set of stock rims and do that. Your tires are slightly closer in size than mine, so it's good to hear that you didn't have any kind of imbalance. Congrats on spanking ultra expensive sports cars :bigthumb: . Six seconds is a hellof-a-lotta difference.

It was pretty funny. This one guy said "yeah, but your car is made for this stuff" I was like WTF?? Your slant nose turbo, 450+rwhp 911(?) isn't made to go fast? Sure buddy.

LOL, They're currently re-writing the rules and you'll be banned by the next event. The only non-Porsche vehicles that will be allowed are Yugos and Aztecs, since they weren't made for that "stuff" either. It's only fair. :p:
