I know this is probably an old topic but is anyone running (225/50/16 frt and 245/45/16 bk) on stock(cup1's) wheels?Are there any fit/rubbing issues to be concerned with?I currently have 205/55/16 and 225/50/16 on frt and rear but am looking to fill the wheels wells up a little(also contemplated moving up to 17 or 18).

Should I take the deafening silence on this topic as good or bad?

That's exactly what I'm running, both for street tires and track tires. No issues.

Thanks,thats all I wanted to hear(especially in light of the fact that I have already ordered the tires).After 4 944's and now this,I never take for granted that "it ought to work".I had garage full of parts that should have worked.Thanks again.

I run these rears also (but use 205/55 front) and have two issues that might be important to you.



1. 245/45 16 inch seems to be a VERY hard size to locate. I had a tough time getting replacement tires.

2. the 9" rear wheel that I had on my car was a 70 mm offset that set the tires inboard too much. I had to install a 27 mm spacer to push them out. This may have been a unique thing with my car and the PO but I was lead to believe that the 9x16 inch tires were from a 911 not a 968. I don't think that 968s came with this wheel size as an option. Be sure to check your offset.

I think the stock wheels(ones on the vehicle) are 7 and 8's(hence my questioning on rubbing-lot of tire to squeeze on 8 " rim).Trying to stay away from spacers.Thanks for the feedback.
