GT2 tires on stock turbo wheels?

I searched it didn't seem to be conclusive. Who has GT2 tires on a turbo that still has a front diff. Any issues? What size/brand spacers? Thanks for any help.

the best stance/setup i have found for stock twists is 225/40/18 x 315/30/18 with a 7mm spacer front, and a 15mm spacer rear. h&r's will do. lots of folks make em. the slightly wider rear doesn't stretch the tire on the wheel noticeably, and the stance is worth it. i suppose it ( the 8 inch stock wheel ) would also accomodate the 235/40/18 front. i never ran that size ( 235/40 ) until putting a 9" front mich ps2, which i run religiously on the car with great pleasure and gobs of "sticktoitiveness".

these sizes will have no impact on the front differential. it is MISmatched rolling diamters ( front to rear ) that need to stay within recommended spec so as to not put undue stress on the viscous coupler portion of the front differential.

there are no gt2 tires. only gt2's,.. and tires that fit lol. good luck.

11mm in front just to have them pushed out a little more
14mm in rear as the 315 rub without them
