New 550 owner oil change question | 356 Speedster, 550 Spyder, Replica, Automotive Community

Tires are being put on now: Continental Extreme Contact Sport

Fronts measured 6" and will get 205/45/16 (205/50/16 not available in this compound)

Rears measured 7" and will get 225/50/16

If it ever stops being winter in Seattle, hopefully I will give a drive report!

Take off's were practically new but 2005 build date

6 and 7 would definitely not fit on most Spyders. You're lucky to have the fender room. Good call on replacing the tires, 15 years is OLD!

I believe these are the wheels:

they are the only 16” forged billet wheels available.

HHRB wheels are two-piece forged wheels. These are billet. (Machined out of a solid piece of aluminum.)

FWIW, here are the Coddingtons. Notice the lip around the slots. And the offset. And the Porsche bolt pattern
