you may need some thin ones on the rear. i have a 10" rim back there and an offset of 52. with 1.7 degrees of negative camber, and a 285/30 AD08, i clear the inside. more camber would make less clearance on the inside. you'll have to fit your tire to find out.

Don't buy the old tires! I have 2007/2008 Michelin PS2's on my car and they're hard as rocks and loud as a Metallica concert.



You should be ok with those offsets. I have 18x10's in the rear with a 65 offset and get no rubbing with a 285/30-18 tire and 1.4˚ neg camber.

the michelins are narrow for their size, and you have a bit less camber. you might be really close. i know somebody who hit with 65 offset, but they had a wider brand tire, more camber, and were really low.

It's definitely a close fit in the rear. The inside edge of the tire is no more than 1 or 2 mm away from the brake line. Or is that the parking brake cable? It doesn't touch, but it is VERY close.



I'm actually considering spacers (maybe 7 or 10mm, and longer studs) to push my rears outboard a little. Visually, they sit inboard just a little too far in relation to the fender lip - to my OCD eye anyway. The fronts sit perfect.

Just scored a set of 18in CCW wheels from a fellow RLister. I may need a set of spacers depending on the final measurements but I will make it work since they were on his S2. Regarding tires, Nitto NT01 is on my short list.

No one yet mounted 19"?



Just got Carrera Classic 19" for my 928 GTS and wonder how they would work on my 944.

Has anyone tried the new Fuchs being made?  Saw the advertisement in Panorama and checked out the website.  The 17x9 is listed as weighing only 17.5 lbs.  $778 each.  That's more than I'd like to pay, but not ridiculous.  Considering going 17x9 all around.

In this case, was looking at function (much less unsprung weight) over style.  They do look like they'd be easy to clean...
