never thought about curbing a dynamag; ouch!

Actually, I have about 3/4" clearance. Well that is a guess. I'm heading over to the car now so I'll measure to be sure. It is hard to photograph the wheels with my phone. Taking the digital camera this time. The wheels are brushed centers and polished rims. Love the PS2's so far. Today we drive them!!

scrub them in good health and ps2's are great on them. we have some of the best roads in the western hemisphere. i just came all the way up latigo from pch. 20+ miles of 20 mph turns what a workout

btw.. i'm pertty sure from the pics they put you at stock height.. which is fine.. but the gt2 height ( if you haven't ) will better suit the car...

Nice wheels but mesh are always a b*tch to keep clean!

Those 542R's are timeless.

I'm at 25.25" F&R as measured from the ground to the center top of the wheel well. I've got maybe 1/2" clearance. Ride height was lowered from stock when I bought the car. I put PSS10's on it when I bought the car and had it lowered. I scrubbed them some on Sunday. Still getting over the flu so not as sharp as I need to be to push the car plus the tires are still new. What about tire pressure? The guys at Wheel Enhancement told me they have to stick with stock pressure as per Porsche. What do you guys run on the street pressure wise with PS2's?
