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.

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.

The rims are 19" x 10", the handbook says 265x35 but thats for 18" rims, it currently has 265x 30 Kumho's (fitted by a cheapskate previous owner) but they are too narrow and do not protect the rim edges.

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.

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

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Another question for the brainstrust! Now that Glenn Mc sorted out where my wheels came from, I will need to fit some new rubber once I have the replacements. So question is what width and ratio? The rims are 19" x 10", the handbook says 265x35 but thats for 18" rims, it currently has 265x 30 Kumho's (fitted by a cheapskate previous owner) but they are too narrow and do not protect the rim edges. My local wicked wheels guy says they should be shod with 285x30s. What do the experts think? Confused of Dorking :? Migration info. Legacy thread was 129182

POST 2Original post

Normal tyre size on an 18x10 wheel is 285/30-18. 285s are the correct width on a 10" wide wheel, but you will probably want to go down one profile to maintain the same rolling radius as on the 18" wheel. So I suspect it's 285/25-19 that you might be looking for. Upsize diameter by one, downsize profile by one. Migration info. Legacy thread was 129188

POST 4Original post

Just jumping onto the back of this thread. I have been offered a set of MPS2's originally for a GT2. Fronts are the same as mine but the rears are 315's as opposed to the normal 295's I have. Would the 315's fit on the standard 996tt rim and if so what would the effect on handling be? Migration info. Legacy thread was 129559

POST 5Original post

Dave - the 315s need a wider rim (12"). The 11" rim is too narrow for the 315 tyre and the tyre, if it can be mounted, will be subject to quite a bit of unwanted sidewall flex. I wouldn't do it when trying to lay down 450bhp. Migration info. Legacy thread was 129561

Thanks Ade. I will stick to standard PS Good to see you and Mini me yesterday Migration info. Legacy thread was 129563
