Suggestion
I plan someday to change my rims and tires but with reference to what you said about speedometer reading and gear ratio changes- I plan to have 18 by 10 rear(285's) and 18 by 8 front(225's-that's stock size rt?)-would that affect speedometer and gear ratio?

Suggestion
He put the rears on the front and they fit with a 275 tire without rubbing, so he is going to get another set of rear tires and run the same wheel and tire on all four corners!

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.

Wheel sizes? 7.5" or 8" in front?
I think 8.5" or 9" is suggested for 245's in front.
I think you mean 285/30x18 for rears? These will fit fine on the standard 10" wheels.

If you have factory wheels, chances are the fronts are 7.5" wide. In this case, I wouldn't install a 245 on them. The stock 225 size is the most you should have. The 285 will fit the factory 10" wheel, however. At any rate, these two tires have a larger diameter than the factory specified sizes and will affect your speedometer reading and gear ratios.
I have P-Zero C's 285/30x18 & 245/35x18 on my 18" wheels. I'm wondering if the 285/35 & 245/40 aspect ratio will fit & not rub. I bought 2 sets to use as street/rain tires.
Hi Viken. Hope everything is well!! I plan someday to change my rims and tires but with reference to what you said about speedometer reading and gear ratio changes- I plan to have 18 by 10 rear(285's) and 18 by 8 front(225's-that's stock size rt?)-would that affect speedometer and gear ratio? Also with 19 inch rims-any recommendations for install or problems with 19's? Thanks. Mike

Yes, the 18" sizes you've listed are fine. As to 19's, there are several companies that offer 19" wheels which would work on your 996. One, I would feel confident trusting is RUF. I particularly like the new RUF "Chrome Optic" wheels which are a bright silver paint and look really good. Contact Asgar Virgi @ <a href="http://www.weissach.com" target="_blank">Weissach</a> for more details.
You can fit 275 in the front and 305's in the rear if you want. The 245's should work fine with the appropriate wheels.
A friend with a 2002 996 tried an interesting set up this weekend. he has the 17" rims. He put the rears on the front and they fit with a 275 tire without rubbing, so he is going to get another set of rear tires and run the same wheel and tire on all four corners! That should help eliminate the severe understeer this car has exhibited this far.
