I had 295/30 - 18 Hanhook V12's and they filled wheel well pretty good.

It has standard-height suspension, but the tires were installed by a previous owner, so I can't speak to fender rolling being done.

BTW, I run 10.5" Victor Innsbruck's on rear w/ 55mm offset and Hankook V12 295's with no issues and after the x74 suspension install running 285's.

I'm running 19's, but I don't have the specs handy.

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 run the same as G.T. on my 996GT3 NB, no problem. don't know if my offset is different but it's quite doable with the correct offset.
Whether you need that width is another question, it's been reported by several GT3 drivers that with the Nitto NT-01's the 305's work better than the 315's.
Correct. Wider isn't always better (or faster). I use the 315s simply because I got a good deal on them. Next set will be 295s. So don't go changing those Neovas just yet, sandersd.
NT-01 305's work better? They are way taller then the 315's and they would be rubbing my fenders if I ran them on the C4S with H&R lowering springs and stock 11" wheels.
Wow, I can't imagine 315's on my car. I had 295/30 - 18 Hanhook V12's and they filled wheel well pretty good. Granted my Victor Innsbruck's are using an aggressive offset but even stock rims seems hard to imagine. If anyone has pictures of their car on 315's I would like see that.
I have GT3 Specs wheels and tires (295/30/18) on my MY00 C2 cab, perfect fit without rubbing. The offsets are perfect and I can't imagine a need for wider tires than that.
305 NT-01s? Those are 35s not 30s
Miami, I run 235 / 315 nittos when I track. They look mean and the grip is outstanding. They also make this awesome buzzing sound at speed.
I have 295s on 19" wheels on my 2002 C2. It has standard-height suspension, but the tires were installed by a previous owner, so I can't speak to fender rolling being done.
Ok, so did a little searching. It looks like the guys running tires larger than 295 and the wider 11" rims are on wide bodied cars. My lowered narrow bodied car I can't see going over 295's and I plan on rolling the fenders before going back to 295's just to be safe.
BTW, I run 10.5" Victor Innsbruck's on rear w/ 55mm offset and Hankook V12 295's with no issues and after the x74 suspension install running 285's. Both with no issues.
If you run wheels with the same GT3 offset then the 295/30/18 will be fine without rolling the rear fenders. I have been running these on the track and street with no issues whatsoever.
As mentioned, you can go wider. If you're not too low, no need to roll the fenders, either. I don't need to research, am just telling you my own experience with a NB 996, 315/30/18 tires and 11" wheels.
The 996 takes a lot of tire without any work to the body. Coming from an e36 M3, it's a very pleasant and welcome surprise as that chassis took major work just to get 285s to fit.
What is the difference between the C2 and GT3 offset?
Edit: Found this over at
Renntech
- 18 x 8 ET 40 and 11 x 18 ET 63
FYI the BBS RS-GT (the ones I want) are ET 50 and ET 65 for both the 996 MKII and the 04 GT3
I want to go 295 (on 19" wheels) on my 99 NB on next tire change. My car is lowered but not aggressively. Tire shop say they should clear but looking for real world experience/advice.
I can vouch for the 285's as that is what is on there now. However, now that the x74 is in I am 99% sure that had I gone back to 295 V12's they would have been fine and that is what I am doing once these tires wear down.
This is a source reference. Confirm exact model applicability in the original material.
