Cool Hoosiers on a 997 gt3

Has anyone found the max width for Hoosier R6 tires on a gt-3?

Nick? Is that you?

I run 315/30/18's on my C2S, there is a 335/30/18 available from Hoosier, but you might need to roll your fender.

Thanks for the response, are the 315's on 19 inch rims? i have the PCCB's so cant go to 18's.

I would go with the 295/30/19 in the rear as they don't make a 305. I use 315 so that I get more rear tire height.

I have two sets 0f 18" CCW's (C10 and C14) and PCCBs. No problems with clearance and both the price and weight of the wheels is right.

Jon stuffed 255/335 on his car (steel). Saw it in person but he didn't take it out on track that day so never got feedback on how they worked

Jon's car looks hot!

335/255 are wide, not sure if they really need to be that wide.

18's on PCCB

My Fiske's are 18's and they fit over my PCCB.
I am running 11" wide rears. if you want to run 12" rears, it is possible if you use the right offsets, then you can run 325's

I agree - 12' wide won't fit under a GT3, but 12" will.
