I like a low car and having the wheels tucked and on and on...

But Porsche's GT3, which is their N/A track car is very low. The front Air Splitter is considered a replacable part like oil, brakes and tires because you Scrape it up sooooo much from just driving around town. evidently the GT3 is one of the cars they offer the lift kit on. Think its only 1.7 inches, some after market offering for lift kits go higher than that; more than two inches. But sorry, way to go off topic, but having that lift ability on this car with all this work would be VERY TRICK
That was the first post I made and was my old setup. The car is pretty low and I've done 245/40-18 18x9.5 +30 all around no problem. However the front setup is no good for tracking or drifting at the height it is. The scrub on the inside and cause the car to brake basically.

225's work on the front without scrubbing but they're stretched and I don't like stretched aesthetically or functionally. A better setup would be 18x8or8.5 +25/30 with 225. Or 17x9 +25 with 225-235. I am getting some 17x8.25 +25 XXR 527's with 215/40/17 tires for drifting.
