Any one running 315/30/18 Tires on 12 inch Et 45 GT2 rims rear and 235/40/18 in front on 81/2 Et40?Do you have to roll the Lips at stock ride height?Any chance of these rubbing?Any help appreciated

I'm running those sizes on my stock turbo wheels, no modification needed. Not sure about the difference in size between turbo and gt2 wheels though.

This is the set up I'm going with. Not sure of the offsets. Most likely going on sometime next week. I'll let you know.

I ran that same exact setup on my 996TT and now am selling the same setup. Worked perfectly fine w/o an issue. As far as kicking up any rocks or wheels sticking out of the wells depends on the offset.

mpgandco, I will be running with the PS2's. Looks like it is Pirelli PZero Rosso's and the 888's are the choices in our sizes now...... at least that is what I see on Tire Rack.
My wheels are ordered.

I went with HRE C90's. 8.5x18 ET47 and 12x18 ET43. I'm lowered on PSS10's with new PS2's. No issues at all with rubbing. Did not have to roll fenders just load and go!
