looks good, I think it needs to be a little lower IMO.

The pic isn't working for me. But it's going to take more than fancy wheels for you to catch me at autocross....

what size wheels and tires are you using? any spacers? have you lowered the car any?

I got your number now son! Let's see, you beat me by .38 when I was running street rubber with you on R comp. Looks like a smack down is coming on the 27th! You buy lunch this time

Thanks Mitch - could not have done it without you! Thanks for getting them out to me so fast.

Here is a nice pic of the new wheels and rubber at the DE last weekend:

The Fikses are 8.5 Front and 10.5 Rear. The tires are 255/35 Front 315/30 Rear Toyo R888. I can hear it now - "wow that's a lot of rubber!" The sizes I wanted 245/40F 275/40R were not in stock so my tire guy - Paul at Radial Tire -- gave me these at way over 1/2 off. They had one track day on them and looked new. The rear size was a concern but there is no rubbing and I do not have spacers. I ran the car hard over the weekend DE and took the tires off again and checked for rubbing but it was fine. Paul has offered to let me bring them back in exchange for the sizes I wanted but I may just keep them since they are such a good price. The rear profile is also amazing (see photo above). I'm probably not as fast as with the OEM size or the 245/275 combo but man they can grip around the turns! Should do great in AX.

I assume these are 18's??

I've never heard on anyone successfully running 315/30-18 on a Cayman before. That's amazing! Do you know what the offset is on your wheels???

Yes - 18's. Do not know the offset but woodhouse may - I got them from him in the classified. The clearances are very tight but, as of today, there is no rubbing. I have checked at least 3 different times and my tire guy has checked twice.

Man!!
Seeing that picture says 2 things to me-
1-It doesn't look like it needs any lowering now
2-I miss my old black CS!
Nice!
