Outcome without a verified action link
I believe you can go up to 235 mm tires on 8.5" wheels and still not rub.
too little info... need tire tize, wheel size and offsets
but if everything is pretty "stock" no, it should not rub anywhere... check out Pete's install thread.. 3

Congrats, you will be delighted with the transformation..great choice...
Enusre you get a proper alignment, and correct X74 installation, as the front mounting holes need some adjustment to optimize camber.
Speaking from expereince as i have the X74 and Fabspeed exahust for some time
Reading through this just gets me giddy all over again. You are gonna love it. I have 235's up front with 295's on the rears (all 18's) with no issue.
Enjoy!
Its really not that bad. I have a front splitter with the Aerokit and I need to pay attention where I point the car......driveways, speedbumps, parking ramps...if you drive straight on I hit the splitter, if I take it at a angle I'm good to go.
pretty smooth then
I watched GT3's on the autocross where the imputs are a little more abrupt and I swear the splitter had to have hit its so close...if anthing on my cars gets that close to the ground I will know a wheel fell off
cant wait to see pics. i have the fabspeed maxflows, they are great. make sure you get the v-clamps, as the factory ones will likely snap off due to age. mine did, and I only has 19k miles on the car.
I have 235/40R18 on stock (8.0) wheels in front and I can go lock to lock without rubbing. I believe you can go up to 235 mm tires on 8.5" wheels and still not rub.

With my stock 996 bumper there was never a problem hitting it on ramps, etc.
Now that I've installed the turbo front bumper I have to watch out. Hit it several time already.
One thing I don't think anyone has mentioned is the engine protection cover. Very important to me since I've already scrapped the cover several times going up ramps. I'm surprised Gert didn't recommend it with the X74 kit.
+1
You should have no problem with that combo as long as your wheels have the correct offsets. I have the x74 package on my 996 and I've got 235's in the front and 295's in the back with no rubbing.
Enjoy.
