Read evidence and context

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.

Discussions that performed work without a confirmed outcome: 1

0 original-poster resolution reports. Counts can overlap; they are not unique people or a success rate.

0 discussions have direct query context; 0 report a fix in that context. Other evidence may inherit the discussion’s subject.

I've recently fitted 285/30's on my RS replacing the 265's without any problems.

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.

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

POST 1Original post

Scott, you can run up to 285 no probs. I wouldn't, you'll get more overstear and reduced top-end, although they'll look fat. I have some 15mm Roock spacers if you need them...

POST 2 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I need to go for the thinner option anyway I think as the offset will stick them out further than required and I don't want any scuffing of arches with ma bitches in the back

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Ok, the new wheels have arrived (Domster and I nearly managed to ruin them last night in a moments madness but that's another story ) but what tyres do I need? The wheels are 18" 993RS split rims (replica of course) and are 8 and 10 inch wide front and rear. Now I thought they should have 225/40/18 and 265/35/18 front and rear respectively but having looked on a few web sites it suggests that is right for the front but at the rear you had the option of 285/30 rubber - anyone able to clarify which is the best/correct choice to go for before I order them? Another point, which I can do nothing about of course, is that the rears are 47mm offset (although they are specifically made for the 992) but web pages suggest this should be 60-65. Assuming this just mean they'll sit a little more proud in the arches but 18mm shouldn't cause clearance probs I hope. Need to order asap to get them on for the weekend - help needed soon therefore please. Laters ps: They do look the dangly bits now polished (bit grubby when I picked them up as they're second hand)
