Thanks brotha!! Looks like I'll be going with that set up. Ill be checking around for the best price now.

If you order through the TireRack link in the Wheels & Tire sub forum you support the forum (the forum gets a small commission payout for each Tire Rack referral).

Now I gotta figure out which tires I want to go with. I could always put the stock rear tires on the front wheels and just replace the rear tires.

You could do that assuming you replaced the rears with the RE050As (if they are available in 305). Otherwise, for a street tire, the Hankook Ventus V12 are awesome.

This is a big thing for me toooooo. I wanted to go with the 305's but then I thought, is the look worth putting the miles off on the car??? It sucks whenever you want to sell the car... Plus the speedo, I donno.... Not sure if its worth it yet...

Nubz · 07-29-2010, 12:17 PM

It shouldn't be off by much. I think its only off by less than a mile an hour...

Spedometer would be 1.4% to fast
so at 60 you would be going 59.2, which imo isnt bad at all

I agree however what I am trying to say, is that worth ONLY looks. Having the bigger tires is really nothing more then a look. Is it worth throughing it off for that?

I donno, something I need to find out before I order tires though, haha

Well, like a stated above, I like the look of the bigger tire.

So, m4a1, are you planning on keeping the H&R Spacers on or are you going back to stock offsets with the new tires...?

I will keep the spacers!

There's still space under my deck, BTW. Rent is cheap!

wheee! · 08-11-2010, 03:31 PM

I am considering it....

Any possible issues with leaving stock width upfront and going to 305 in rear?? My '07 911 carrera had 255 front / 295 rear. Absolutely loved the staggered look. I was thinking of leaving fronts stock and going 295 or 300 rear..
