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.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I like to know what is the maximum size tire combo for both front and rear I could install in my '99 996 coupe and still retain the turbo 18 inch wheels and without having to shave the inner flares like my friend did with his 993 which he put championsport rims with 275's . Right now its 225/40 for the front and 265/35 for the rears. Ne info would be gladly appreciated.Thanks

POST 2Original post

I believe this question was answered before. If you have factory installed 7.5" and 10" wheels, you are better off keeping the 225 and 265 tires you already have. Otherwise, you can install 285/30-18 tires on the rear at the risk of slightly increased understeer. If you really want to do it, consider changing the front wheels to 8" to compensate for the added understeer.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Thank you for your response. I did post one time on same topic but something happened to this website and I couldnt find my topic. So with 285/30 for the rears and switching the front to 8' to counter the understeer would it in neway cause me to have to shave the inner flares at all which I dont wish to do. Great car u got- air cooled porsches sounds awesome. Mind is to refined-Ive been thinking about changing my stock exhaust to fabspeed since many on this website gave glowing reviews. Thanks

POST 4Original post

If you stay with the factory wheels, you won't have any clearance problems. As to the exhaust, let's just say that it makes different noises.

This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
