Tire Width?

Hey guys, I have 18" Carerra Sport wheels on my car. Can I put a 11 inch wide rear on?

Thanks,

Mike

Sure you can Mike.... How do I know??????

I'm wearing 11" on mine..... You'll just need to work with the correct off-set, puchasing a set of PORSCHE factory 11" won't do it....

Yes, like Eli said you can put an 11" wheel on. I thought you were asking if you could stick an 11" tire on your 18" sport design rim....in case that is what you were asking, no, I don't believe you can do that. I think the stock GT3 rears are 11" wide, and they are narrow body offset and will fit up to your car ok.

Sure. We sell 11" all the time, just need proper offsets. 996 narrowbody needs to be about 55 mm. Widebody about 38.
