Leading evidence: 'Run 18 inch apex wheels ,18x9 front 18x10 rear' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'minority' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Recommend 245 / 275' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

they are very close to exact size, I think wheels are 7 front and 8.5 rear, I use these on track in the rain lots of grip.

Suspected cause
I'm probably the minority, but I like the 19s better.

Are you running stock sizes 235 / 265 or go with their recommended 245 / 275?
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

My wife died her hair once, was fun to try something different but didn't work.
Here's my 07' black/black 5 speed.
I painted the calipers Yellow and added these Varro 19"s.
I think I'd like to just lower the car with H&
R Springs
and put the stock wheels back on. Since the picture with the stock wheels I did add the smoked taillights and side marker, and the
LED
fog lights.
Shameless
plug
with the TR, but also an aesthetic comparison of 16" vs 19" wheels.
I don't know if I should try to lower onto the 19"s or just sell them and go back to stock
or
Turbo Twists...
Thoughts?

The most fun you can have with the 987 wheel setup is when you get as small of a (lightweight) wheel that will clear your calipers. 18" is definitely the move, better cushioning and less unsprung mass, which helps the car's handling and driving feel. I had 19" lobsterclaws from factory and it's a night and day difference between those and my 18".
I hear rumours, but cannot confirm myself, that 17" wheels will clear the
987.1
S calipers. I know they do on the
987.1
base.
I am using TechArt lowering springs (more aggressive than the H&R or
Cayman R springs
), and the car scrapes more on the 19" 35AR setup than my 18" 40AR setup. My $0.02 is to run the stock (or aftermarket) 18" wheels with the H&
R springs
as you will have less front clearance issues.
(I hope the image is resized and cropped to Don's liking
)
That looks like it settles it! Lowering seems to achieve the look I'm after.
Just ordered a
CircuitWerks
V2 as well so I've got some fun projects once the weather warms back up.
Schell, that looks amazing! That is exactly what I'm looking for.
Oddly the 19"s I put on almost made the car look like "jacked up" like it was ready for off-road

Hey - I just got Apex wheels SM-10RS 18x9, 18x10. Don't have the tires yet. Are you running stock sizes 235 / 265 or go with their recommended 245 / 275?
I did the 245/40 18 and 275/40/18 , I do a lot of track events so I have just enough room to go 255 in the front with 3.5 negative camber, if I go with a 255/35/18 and 285/35/18 I will be about 5mm shorter than stock, with current set up 245/40/18 275/40/18 about 5mm taller than stock, my speedometer is currently correct , no longer off by 2mph.
For my street
tires
on a 17 inch wheel did a all season
Conti
DSW
Tire size 215/50/17. 255/45/17. they are very close to exact size, I think wheels are 7 front and 8.5 rear, I use these on track in the rain lots of grip. This photo is before coil overs and suspension work.
How much are you rubbing with the 245/40? I am on the same width and AR but had to get my fender rolled for clearance. I am waiting to snag some camber plates from Tarrett to put on my new coilovers - is that how you achieved -3.5? I am maxxed out at -2.1 on stock LCAs and lowering springs.
If you're after aesthetics, the 19" lobsterclaws on a slammed 987 are an unbeatable look. I love the way my 987 looks on both the stock lobsterclaws and my E88s.
Photo pretty well sums it up, red gal there with the perfect Fibonacci ratio of wheel circumference to tire circumference. 50.24 inches by 1.618033.. for your golden 81.3 inch tire circumference. As our creator intended.
Then you have the blasphemous modern rubber band tire ratio.

That is what mine looked like before coil-overs, I love the coil-overs on track for me its great, I don't drive much on the street but if I did I would want stock feel back.
I'm probably the minority, but I like the 19s better. I have a 2012 S Black Edition with an R wing and 19"
Spyder
wheels and I like them. Black on black. Your smoke lens covers and muted 19" wheels make it feel more updated. I never loved the tail lights on the
987.1
.
Nice Ferrari, is that yours? I was looking at 308s for a while.
