    The 19s look so much better. I prefer the spoke design, and if you keep going down another couple inches there will be enough sidewall to make it look like a real car again.

    @stovt001: Going any smaller would require some due diligence because of the brake caliper. The 19 inch wheels and tire sizes would offer a 99.75mm sidewall, which is a good compromise between sport and compliance.

    With a car like the 911, how do you get the snow tires to the tire shop? Do you need a separate car to carry the tires?

    You guys should order the same tires for this size rim, drive with them on (with another car following with the 20s on board) for maybe an hour/45 minutes to a favorite restaurant, then switch and drive back with the other set. That way you could do a write up with fresh and accurate information on the differences for anybody considering different size rims.

    guess might as well buy the tires. and then do another track test with the 19s to see if there is any difference in performance.
