For those of you w/ cargraphic wheels, i'm trying to figure out what tires will fit on a 19x11 rim on a narrow body 996 w/o rubbing.

currently i have yoko avs sports that are 315/25/19 on the rear. suspension is HR coilovers, and there's no rolling of the rear fenders and there's still space between the fender and the tire.

i'm trying to figure out if i can replace these with the conti sport contact 2s. i know the yokos tend to run a little narrow so i'm hoping to get away with the same size 315/25 but i'd go to the 295/30 if it would fill out the rim. I found the spec sheet for the contis, but can't find any dimensions on the yokos.

the reason for the change is purely for ease of getting the tires--the contis are at the tire rack, and i had a friend at yokohama try and order that size and she couldn't even get them (not DOT approved?!?).

anybody have any experience with these? thanks!

yoko are not to my liking. i found the conti 2 to be a much better tire. should fit with 315, if not roll the fenders.

 

thanks for the advice. i guess not too many people run 315/19s on a narrow body? oh well.

I run 305/25/19 rear and 245/30/19 fronts. About to get my PSS9 install. I don't think I will have any issues rubbing.

I have heard from several people that SP9000 305/25/19 are identical in size compared to the 315/25/19 continentals. The Contis is what I will try next. Tired of paying $600 a tire for the SP9000.
