    Firmware 5.9

    It´s the opposite. In theory a taller car will provide more grip up to the point where it wheelies. The wind resistance would be negligible in comparison in this case (I think). Anyway, I don´t think you will get a measurable difference. - - - Updated - - - How come no one said a word about...

    I want 21" Staggered Wheels for my P85

    They do, I have them on my car. 10" is perfect with 285 tires. 10.5" also works fine, but looks a tiny bit stretched. Some like it like that. With 285 rears you should use the original offset, 40. That works with well with both 10" and 10.5". The latter will sit completely flush with ET40...

    This is my take on blacked out: Dolphin grey with black/black interior. Dark grey wheels and every chrome part foiled to the same color as the wheels. Borrowed a pic from another thread here and did a quick paintbrush drawing to illustrate. Looks awesome IMO!
