Has anyone ran these tires? I really like the tires but I want to avoid any AWD damage.

Stock front 225/40/18 diameter 25.08"

Stock rear 295/30/18 diameter 24.96"

I really like the Nitto NT05's but the closest sizes are:

front 235/40/18 diameter 25.43" (close enough)

rear 295/35/18 diameter 26.18" or 285/35/18 diameter 25.91" (marginal)

Even the Nitto INVO"s would be nice but:

front 225/40/18 diameter 25.08" (this one actually fits)

rear 295/35/18 diameter 26.02" (marginal)

Has anyone tried these tires and sizes on a 996TT? Any tire or Porsche experts out there? I officially request Nitto to make a rear tire in the XXX/30/18 size.

Thanks

 

The diameters vs. stock don't matter, its the difference between the front/rears of the new tires. The front and rear diameters need to be within .3" to avoid damage to your front differential. Looks like the NT05's would work as long as they don't rub or any issues like that.
