No, they clear fine. I have a set of 305's as well (BBS LMR) there are no fitment issues.

Do you mind weighing them before you mount? I heard VE's are heavy and was wondering what size you will run compared to weight.

+1, it looks MUCH better now than with the BBS wheels, congrats.

Any possibility of changing the center caps? Think it'd look even better then

Rims look really great,it would be nice to see how 305's sit under the Cayman looking from the full rear.(i.e. like from a car travelling behind you)
Also whats the handling like?
