Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Have anybody tried this on a 996?

POST 2Original post

I used to run 265/30/18 Pilot Sport Cups on front at the track. My fenders are rolled and they would rub on the liners if you turned too short but that's fine for a track car. No way would they work on the street. Sure looked mean though.

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

JimB: How much negative camber you have at the front ? Were you using 7.5" or 8" front wheels?

POST 4Original post

Min recommended rim width for 275/35 is 9". If the fitter could get the tyre on to an 8" rim (big if) its footprint would be badly compromised by the narrow rim. 245/35 is about the widest sensible fitment for 8".

POST 5Original post

I use 9 inch front rims. John is right. You don't want to put that wide a tire on anything smaller. I'm not sure what camber I was running at the time. I think around -2 degrees. I run with around -3 to -3.5 now. I hope you are not seriously considering putting a 275 in front. I can promise you it will be a hassle. Jim
