tirerack shows 225/40/18 f & 265/35/18.. isnt that a little narrow? what's the biggest size that wont rub w stock suspension?

 

I am running 15mm spacers front and rear.
Rears are 285/30/18 .no rubbing and it looks mean.

 

No problems running 11" rear rims with 295/30/18 tyres

Porsche Sport Techno wheels with standard tyre fittment.

These are fine and my car is lowered a fair amount - My car is an 04/C2

Costas

 

cool. btw were there any changes to the suspension and/or fender clearance and/or wheel liner size from 99 to 00 or later? tirerack does show bigger sizes for 996s 01 and later.

 

I ran 285 30 18 on the rear of my 00 C4 Cab and its no problem as its the size that Porsche started to run on post 02 996s.

 

jasclass,
thank u for the tip on exhaust.

i have 00 C2 996 with 030 pacakge, can 285 30 18 fit my rear? u have c4 or cs4, cuz what i know as cs4 is wider. what do u have for the front?
thank u again for all the advice

 

Anytime, I was running 18x8 225 40 18 up front 18x10 285 30 18 in the rear, stock Porsche wheels on a 00 C4 Cab which isnt any wider than a C2, the C4S, Turbo and GT2 are the only 996s that are wide bodies.

 

ProV1,

I'm running stock 18" Porsche Sport Classic rims and 285/30R18 tires on my 99 Cab. I currently have the ROW M030 suspension and it works just fine. Obviously it also worked perfectly with the stock suspension as well.

BTW, as far as the fronts go, I use the stock 225/40R18 is the front on the street but I use 245/45R17 on 9" rims on the front while at the track. There is very slight rubbing when at full wheel lock with this setup though.
