... make sure your rotors are 19".
I hate seeing a puny rotor inside a gigantic wheel.
Happy Porscheing

I know. I just didn't want Bill going out there looking for 19" rotors. *NM* Guenter in Ontario - Saturday, 16 August, 2014, at 12:11:23 pm |

It looks as though you're not getting mountains of support for the idea of moving to 20" wheels.
And I, too, am one of the naysayers. But, having said that, do what makes you happy. Truly.
Guenter has 20" wheels on his 981, and they offer a remarkably compliant ride, even with his sport suspension, though that may well be a product of the 981's overall recalibrated suspension.
Like Grant, I prefer 17" wheels. For me, the tall sidewalls absorb wonderfully the otherwise harsh impacts generated by poor roads.
And when I'm on smooth roads at BRBS, pressing the sport PASM button allows me to keep up with the other guys in the twisties, with very little drama in the way of body roll, or undue weight shifting. Even with 17" wheels, the car's handling capabilities far exceed my own.
So true, Guenter Roger987 - Saturday, 16 August, 2014, at 3:09:42 pm |
