Wheels look awesome my friend! 
.... but I STILL cannot believe you got the Carrera to replace your e55, I know you have the S63, but still, you must be a 55 modder at heart!

What are you getting to replace the E55, Alek? 
While I agree, I'd take his E55 over the Porsche-- it's not too say the Porsche is a bad car... but gawddamn that was one sexxxy *** E55. I had it as my desktop for a cool minute...

Lookin' nice . I actually think it's not all about just dropping the car personally, IMO the tires could be a little meatier? Maybe that's just me though, I've never been into the super-slim, "stretched tire" look.
Congrats and enjoy.

On my 997TT the stock rear is 305x30x19 and the plus size is 325x25x20--- the same tire is the double plus size when coming from 18's which I think PGF had on this car when stock.
On my M6 the stock rear was 285x35x19 and when I went to 305x25x20 the over all diameter was reduced from a little over 27 inches to about 26 inches. This differential made the stock gap even bigger and made a Hartge drop not such a good one leaving quite the gap remaining. I had to then dump the Hartge springs and go coilovers. Springs on this 997 will not fix the gap issue Im afraid. Luckily he is going with coils but will have to fully slam it and might not get the optimal performance out of the suspension. The same occurred with my M6.
Oh btw, the car needs a drop

I posted my thoughts on another forum where he put pics up... His tires are too lean for 20's on the 997... most who run 20's if not all use the 325x25x20set up and not the 305x25 size. The diameter is reduced too much with the smaller tire.
