What size tires go on the 19x10 wheels? Any spacers required?I was thinking the same thing. Moving from the stock setup, to 19x10 squared with SuperCar3’s completely changed the car along with camber and Steeda springs.
285/35/19 - the Apex wheels are 10 lbs lighter a wheel and priced right. Offset is perfect and designed for S550 with no spacers. Easiest track mod ever. :-)What size tires go on the 19x10 wheels? Any spacers required?
He’s 10 track days in 3 years with the S550.305 square or 305F/315R, more tire the better. Then it's the real deal.

Wow! So you have two somewhat similar cars. How is your Cayman configured?Great Thread OP; I believe you will have a lot of folks waiting to see your impressions on back to back driving comparisons... myself included.
I am currently contemplating a 718 GT4 as well. No room for both the GT350 and a GT4, so I will have to pick one. Currently have a Cayman 718 and the GT4 better be WAAAAAAAYYY better for me to give up the Flat-Planed Crank exhaust note in my Shelby.
Keep up posted...!!!!!!!!!
Without a doubt, the BIGGEST factor in play on a road course.Driver experience may play a role too. I’m super comfortable in the Mustang. Will be first time on the track with the Porsche.
My track car for about 15 years was a '72 911 (still have it). About 2350 lbs wet. Mine is modified with a '84 3.2L engine, approx 240 HP. No power steering, brakes, obviously no driver aids of any kind. It is an absolute blast on track. You may want to consider a Lotus Elise as well. Lightness is good!In for the info.
I have a serious Jones for a GTS 4.0, it's way up on the list. However, the lesser-engined Cayman is intriguing as well, and I'm curious about this comparison. I'm thinking smaller and lighter are the way to go on the next fun car.
Is pirelli pzeros a totally different beast once on a porsche?Thank you!
I had to go with the 2.5L Turbo. wanted that torque to come on fast at corner exits onto the straights. Lots of crap on the net about the engine sound. I think it sounds really good with the sport exhaust.
Tires:
Mustang - Michelin Pilot Sport 4 S - 285/40 rear, 255/40 front
Boxster - Pirelli P Zero - 265/40 rear, 235/40 Front
no. It's just that there are at least 8 different 'p zeros' and nobody know how to tell them apart.Is pirelli pzeros a totally different beast once on a porsche?
