Yeah, I wasn't sure, but that sounds about right!

Did you end up running with the 305's and the 25mm spacers? I have the HR 25mm's on the rear and will look to go to the 305's. I unfortunately have the Bridgestone 285 run flats that came on the car and they are simply put.... awful. Harsh riding...like stretching a rubber band over a steel wheel.

I've put a thousand miles on her in month and she's a blast to drive. If its over 30 degrees and no rain or snow....she gets driven.

Lots of people, here, don't drive their GT in the rain. I get that but I'm not one of them. :p
This car is superb in the rain, especially with all-weather tires. I flew to Lexington, KY on a gorgeous sunny day to make the purchase. During the test drive the skies completely opened up and didn't stop until I was about 30 mins. from Atlanta. So, my first 350 miles were logged in a torrential down pour. :LOL: I guess you can say, me and the 'Mas' never looked back after that.
Drive on brother, the more the better. (y)

I don’t take either the Maserati or the Porsche out in the rain because ( at least in California..) too many people have no clue how to manage driving on wet surfaces, and the chances are too high for an idiot driving their minivan or some other clunker on bald tires to hydroplane or simply slip-slide into my car. But rain is rare here ( except for the recent inexplicable monsoons :confused: ) so I get to enjoy the cars a good 300 + days a year .

This was a blonde joke but I’m going to use Ca. surfer dudes instead :
One dude to the other coming back to the car after surfing : Oh no dude, I just realized I locked my keys inside the car and it looks like it may be starting to rain in a few minutes ..
Second dude: Uh, so what’s the problem ?
First dude : Well, look at it, I left the top down, the seats and carpets will get all wet dude !!
Second dude : ugh, bummer dude !
