tire/wheel sizes and possible lowering
just recently became a used 1999 996 owner. i am kicking around the idea of putting on new wheels/tires (needs two new front tires, so why not) but am having difficulty with which size to choose. i am contemplating lowering it with H&R springs, will not do it if people think it's the wrong thing to do. anyhow, what are the most "popular" tire/wheel sizes without having to do some other mod to accomodate them?
thoughts appreciated

Ask what the final ride height will be with the H&R springs because they might lower the car too much. Typical ride height should not be lower than the Euro M030 "Sport" Chassis Porsche option. If you want larger tires/wheels than what comes on a Porsche standard coupe you might need to consider H&R coil over all around which help with the tire/wheel set-up like on a Porsche GT3, but all that's some big $$$! Best thing to do is stay with Porsche tire/wheel sizes without any problems. Porsche's own Euro M030 "Sport" suspension set-up is the best for the 996 without any problems; ment for the standard coupe suspension and tire combo.
