I have been running that setup on a lowered suspension and its perfect. The neg is that I cant rotate tires to counter wear, other then that its perfect!

Actually you can, I rotate my front and rear tires side to side, because the outside corners wear out before the center and inside corner, so if you dismount the fronts and switch em, you get more miles out of em, same goes for rear, I got 45k out of my 295/30/20R 255/35/20F toyo prokes 4 's .

I'm lowered an inch and running 295/35/20 Michelin PS2s...they rub a little bit here and there but no big deal. The thicker sidewall looks great and fills the rear wheel well very well

txAM08, after you smoke those 295/35's off, go with a set of 295/30's, those will not rub on you at all, mine is lowered 1 1/2, and my 295/30's do not rub at all!! Just put new tires on too myself, but on my next set I might try a 305/25/20, has anyone out there ran a 305/25/20 on a 20x10" rim?

seems like the ride would be very loose and sloppy with such a huge sidewall tire

I have 20x10.5s on the rear and 19x9's on the front

Id probably go with 20x10.5s and 20x9.5s if i did it again.

295/30 is harder to find from my experience, otherwise that's what I would've done. There's a small business here in Houston that buys secondhand patched tires from the local Porsche dealerships, so they always have sets of 295/35/20 PS2s readily available. They're original applications pulled off of 911s where I presume the owner either didn't want to run on a patched tire or the original was replaced under road hazard warranty and sold off. $370 a pair with 9/10-10/10 tread left!

Can you hook me up with the contact info in a personal message for those PS2's, I always wanted to try those but the $$$$$ was to insane

Thanks, BTW, car looks killer!!
