I usually think 20's look too big on the 996 TT, but these look pretty good.
You have more than enough power and won't be using enough handling on the street for the weight to be much of a problem.
Car overall looks great.

I was thinking the same thing. Our cars are so finicky when it comes to rolling diameter differences front to rear...

Hey thx so much and yes some wheels do look huge with 20s somehow i don't think it happened here. I can tell you the only thing changed was my tire got smaller and the rim got larger LOL from the 19s. I'm not sure why.....
Here's a pic of my 19s then a pic of the 20s.

Here's a great tire size calculator I've used to purchase all my setup on all my vehicles in order to keep within recommended tolerances - when required.
I'm interested in results on your current setup.
Good luck,

If you're not sure why, they you may want to read up on wheel & tire OD and what effect they have on not only performance but also your Porsche's AWD system. They're finicky when it comes to anything more than a small difference in the number of revolutions per mile, front to rear.

You're running 245/?? in the front and 325/?? in the rear. Fill in the blanks for us.

Dude all these other people do not get it because they have not tried it for them self. You are a pioneer. I am sure that with some time even Race car teams will be using light weight carbon wheels like yours because they are lighter and the handle better due to the size. To bad most race car teams did not have bigger budgets so they could test more so they would know what you know now.
