Very nice indeed.

I take it you had to bend the fenders to accommodate the 19" wheels?

IMHO I think 19" wheels look great on this car. I have had mine for

almost 4 years and had no problems with them. But for some strange

reason Porsche don't approve of them.

[v8huntr]

actually i didn't mess with the fenders.

The reason they do not approve them is that the lower profile tyres on 19" wheels have less "give" (higher spring rate) than tyres on 17" or 18" wheels, resulting in higher stress on the suspension which can eventually lead to failure of the wheel carrier/strut assembly. That's only an issue when you drive on a track though (or on Welsh/Irish roads :cheers: )

Cheers Iwe. I don't track my car so I hope me struts hang in there ;)

v8huntr, strange how you could accomodate 19" wheels without rolling the fender in. Maybe its because my car has the lowered suspension that I had to roll mine.

[v8huntr]

my car is about 1.25" lowered all around.
