I’m currently running the nt1 in the 245/305 size. I previously ran r888 in 255/35 and 335/30 on 18x9 et50 and 18x12. I think the 255 front is pretty much max I could do. It was flush with the fender but rubbed slightly at full lock. I’m lowered.

Probably a 325/35/18 R888R. I am running the 325/30/19 R888R with no issues but it's TIGHT.

335/30/18 (26.0") R888 will fit no problem, provided you have the proper width and offset to do so. Guys are running the taller 345/25/20 (26.6") on 20x13s with no problem.

What I really want to know is why guys stay so narrow up front, a 9.5" +50 should fit fine with a 265 or 275 tire, just need to keep the overall diameter the same or slightly shorter than rear tires.

I run a 275/35/18 and 335/30/18 NT01 set up on a 996 with 18x10x13 wheels. Should work in 997 with the right parts. Great set up and it gives a 25.4/26.0 stagger. The NT01s measure wide at 11/14”
