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.

I've been researching track tires for the C4S, just so I don't have to pay $$$$ to keep replacing the PZeros. I'm also looking at getting a separate set of rims. The problem is, for the 18X8 fronts and 18X11 rears, tire sizes seem to be limited to 225/40X18 and 295/30X18. Only Conti's and PZeros seem to come at those rear sizes.
Any thoughts? Suggestions on tires, or wheel tire combo's for the track? TIA.
You could always switch to a 17" track rim. There is a far greater selection of tires (especialy track tires) for a 17" rim as opposed to an 18" rim.
Just a thought.
Not so sure about decreasing wheel diameters, Sloth. There may be a problem with brake clearances. Going bigger is OK.
Heard fromn other posters that I may be able to get a slighlty smaller tire in the rear (285), so long as the outside diameter stays the same. May give me a little more oversteer (yahooooo). Thanks for the reply.
I just bought a set of Kumho's mounted on the Carrera II wheels from Wheel Enhancement. Same size as the '02 stock 18" which is a 285 in the rear. The Kumho's have a little thread so you can drive them to the track. They seem to perform quite well, but maybe not quite up to the level of the Hoosier. They are a lot cheaper than your P Zeros.

The standard 996 wheel is a 17". Unless they put different brakes on the C4S (do they?) I would think you should have no problem. I am not 100% on that so I would look further before doing anything?
I know for my track car (951) I would rather have a 17" rim b/c of the greater selection of tires.
Either way, good luck on that.
Palting,
I have a set of track wheels and tires for the '02 C4S. You need to get wheels with the offset of a 993 widebody or 996 TT. I found a set of 993TT wheels which worked great. The front wheels will require a 5mm spacer. The rears fit no problem. The rears were supposed to be 18x10, but when measured, came up at more like 18x11. I ordered the tires (Kuhmo Ecsta V700's) without seeing the rims (285's), but a 305 will fit on this rim no problem. I am running 225's on the front. Feel free to e-mail me and we can discuss ([email removed]).
