GT2 height, GT2 alignment. Camber is at -2.2 (maxed out on what it can be and spec is -1.9) 305/30/19 PSS on a 19x12+40.












I would have 2 new rear wheels made up in 19x11 so I could run the 295/30/19 PSS but they are on a huge backorder and who knows when they will be available again.

Keep in mind to get GT2 ride height on a tire that I think is taller than GT2 tire means the coilover will have to be dropped more than with a GT2 wheel setup which also means in addition to the added height from the tire the tops of the tires will be even closer to the top inner fenders.

plus 19's tend to rub anyway so gt spec anything on a 996t is going to make that even more likely, wouldnt it?

I think I set mine to X73 ride height measuring from the floor to measuring points on the chassis. No rubbing at all with my 305/30 19 rears either when hitting dips or taking a hairpin with lots of camber.

My rear camber settings are modest, though, which may help. -1.7 degrees in the rear if I remember correctly.
