Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

6 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Hi Guys, I was wondering anyone tried wider rear tires on 2000 C2 on 18" Turbo look rims? I need to get set of tires...currently 265/30/18? Maybe 285??? any advice...! Thanks in advance

POST 3Original post

Most doing track events with extra rims run. 245x35-18 Front and 285x30-18 Rear This does require 8.0-8.5 fronts and min 10.0 rear rims. For the street, I would not bother. The rear wear out fast enough as it is...you want to pay more for tires that wear out fast and never really get the benifits of the wider tire? If your going for looks, drop the car an 1-1.5 inches. You'll love the look and the car will feel a lot better. My $0.02

POST 4Original post

Just adding wider rears will add to understeer. This, to me, is bad because the 996 has understeer to begin with.

POST 5Original post

Last week, I recently put the 285/30's on my stock turbo twists(2001 996) with no problem whatsoever. My main reason was because the rim lip protruded from the tire too much, making the actual rim an easy target for potholes. If I'm not mistaking, I believe the 2002's come with 285's in the rear stock. Someone can verify this. I am not worried about understeer because I plan on changing my suspension and using diffeerent rims and tires at the track anyway.

POST 6 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Well it is a good idea to drop the car, but since I have the Aero kit...I am not really sure it is a good idea or not on my side. I don't want to hit the front end all the time. I am going to check on 285/30/18 and make some side by side comparison between them. Bill
