What do you guys think about my new tread?!!?

I'm really excited on how the fitment came out on these tires!
Toyo Proxes R888's
255/35/18 up front and 295/30/18 out back



Going to be putting these vulcanized rubber lettering on next!
Thoughts!? Opinions!?


cheers!
Drew

I like the first shot. Don't you have rubbing against the fender in the front?

I like it more without the lettering.

You should have a lot of grip on a track now!

blackwalls are best and do these rub in the front like the prior guy asked.

Those rears look like they're going to rub if you ever take your car out for some fun.
I vote no letter. They look like crap once you get them dirty, and imho tacky.

I drove the car pretty hard all weekend and even went on a little 2.5 hour road trip and had 0 issues!! I was astonished. Probably could use some camber plates just to play it safe. About the tire letters, half of me thinks they would look super aggressive and compliment the rest of the car well and half of me thinks they're tacky, I'm undecided

I prefer the lettering. To me, it goes well with the look of a 944. I can see how they would be a pain to keep clean on a DD though.

Your tires look tight! Be careful parallel parking, I have white raised letters on my Chevy truck, and they are all but gone.

I think white lettering is normally awesome but for some reason the ones in the picture look [pretty poor to me. I think its the font choice. Tires and spacing look real nice on your car, i think it's working (not rubbing) because the tires don't bulge out as much as some others.
