Stretched tires?

So im thinking of doing it euro style. I have the knock off HRE wheels(avant mesh.) 19X8.5 and 19X11. Im going to go with 215/32/19 front with a 7mm spacer and then 270/30/19 rear with a 14mm spacer then SLAM my coils right on the wheel. Well just a little above it. What do you guys think of this look? I have only seen one guy pulling this look. V35 i think.

Really... i think it might be pretty good looking. I have full faced wheels. I guess we will see how it looks. Im thinking of getting some turbo 20s anyways cause they are cheap. So i can switch them if it looks silly. At the end of the day dislikers gonna dislike lol.

You know the saying about "opinions" I'm sure. That said, I'm just not a fan of downgrading the performance of a car like the 911 due to modifications.

No. I dont mind your opinion at all! I grew up in germany(air force brat) and i loved all the E36 and E46s slammed with fatties. I love M3s like this too. Im just going to test it. So you think this would make my driving performance go? Wider is better right? I doubt the 14mm will do much but get me flush with the then tire.

OK, seeing that you spent some time in Germany, this is making sense now. Wider may be better but more unsprung weight from heavier wheels isn't.

I see but if im going with a smaller tire and just spacers how is that adding weight? Dont get me wrong.... i will prob keep the look for a few months then get some new wheels. Like i said. Im going to prob get some turbo 20s.

All I can think about is this, it's the new look but not my style at all. I put it in the same category as lowriders.

You may want to re-think your decision to go with 20's. There have been several posts on the forum regarding the decrease in steering response, slower acceleration, and over decrease in vehicle performance; all due to the increased weight/mass of the wheel/tire combo. JMHO, it's your car.

OMFG!! What a hoot!!

That is a conversation that I wish I could have with a room full of spring-cutters and fender-rollers (said in a monotone computer-generated voice, of course!).

Although sort of youth oriented, slammed cars look cool when sitting still. I wouldn't do it but they look cool at meets and shows.
I used to drive kinda low years ago but am too old to put up with the issues it's brings. Having to go into many driveways and lots sideways because of dips, eyes glued to the road so hard it can be distracting...not for me.
If I did slam a car it would definitely not be a Porsche.
