Enjoy the deal you got on wheels, and keep us updated when you get pics

We might be near the end of this. In summary:
1) The set-up Dr. Bill is getting will look quite good cosmetically, but will be a performance compromise under certain conditions he might never see.
2) No harm will befall Dr. Bill or his car if driven under normal conditions.
3) There are better set-ups available to the one he's getting but at significantly higher cost.

Yes Bill, I approve! Sounds like that is an absolutely killer deal on my favorite wheels. Turbo cabs with the Lobster fork Champions are stunning. Everything will work out just fine. I hope you do see my point RE: the rollout issue. The 996 turbo is very sensitive to rollout changes. To tell you the truth, I didn't bother calculating the rollout on the 235/35/19 even though you had posted it. If I had, I would have come to the same conclusion anyways. The speedo will be off and the width of the rears will be off a little but the roll out is spot on.
