I plan to run what I understand to be the standard 18" snow tire configuration, which runs a 265 rear. I have seen a 265 snow mounted on stock wheels, but may end up going with some cheap alloys from tirerack if I can't find a decent used set.

I did a @925 mile road trip home when I got mine - very memorable trip...a great way to 'bond' with your new car.
Best of luck...
Enjoy the ride!

Yes I think you're right a 265 is the recommended rear on a 10" rim instead of the stock 11". I've still got my stock 18" wheels sitting around and I've been debating putting snows on them and just living with the sidewalls bending inwards.

Such a beautiful car!

I hope to own one someday. I think they look better than the 997/991!!

Car looks great, but those are not Champion RG5's. They do look like a Champion wheel, just not sure which model. Maybe one that's since been discontinued?
