Those will look great! What tyre sizes did you go for? I'm considering my options for a staggered setup when my soft 888s wear out.

Missed your last reply - yep, booked for Croft. Enjoy the NC500, I did some of those roads a few years back in my OH's 996 and they're bloody excellent smile

ooo. love those wheels. Mind posting where you got them from?
Thanks, got them from Demon Tweeks - they happened to have the sizes that I needed, which most others didn't. Will be interesting to see how the wider rears affect things

Cheers smile went for 215-50-13 on a 13x8 wheel at the rear, and 175-60-13 on 13x7 on the front.

2 weeks until the NC500. Really looking forward to it - I think I remember seeing some of your photos of it somewhere. Roads look amazing. We have a group of 11 cars going - Lotus Elises, BMW Z4M, Aston Vantage, a few Caterham / MK's etc, so going to be great fun.

Interesting, that's quite a stagger! I'll be interested to see how it works out for you. I'm limited at the moment by my 6J wheels, but will probably have to have a re-think before next season.

The NC500 is awesome. So much big scenery!





The A9 is pretty tedious, but the rest of the roads are just fantastic. The two-way roads have such a variety of technical and sweeping bends, usually with lovely sight lines, and when you get up to the singletrack roads right along the north coast you can just slow down and enjoy the ever-changing scenery. Funnily enough I've managed to extend a work trip up there in a couple of weekends' time, so I'll spend a couple of days doing the section from Ullapool across to Applecross and then up to Skye before heading back to the airport - sadly I'll be in a Vauxhall Corsa hire car though frown

Did you ever sell this car in the end?
