It's the offset and rim width that is preventing you from running any tire wider than a 295 on the rear. With an 11" wide rim in the rear you can run up to a 315 on stock fenders with the proper offset. Most owners that want to run up to 255's in the front have some negative camber built in.

996 C4S wheels are the same as 996 turbo wheels with the exception of the turbo wheels being hollow. Many 993 widebody cars are running that setup with 315's. Do the tires rub on both left and right rear?

I'd really have no problem staying with this set up, other than I am finding very few options of both sizes, being available, at the same time/tread pattern.

Can you let me know what your ride height is? I'm at 104/103.5mm f/r
Have 295s in rear and that's all I can fit w/o rubbing. When I tried 235s in the front, I rubbed inner lip of fender, inner front of well liner, and rear area of inner well. As it stands now, I'm running out of options for available tires. They're getting away from some of the 18's that used to be available. Thanks for any insight.

993TT's (maybe 2S's & 4S's too) have one of the rear hubs run 5-6mm further in, I believe it's passenger side, not sure, Couple of Friends of mine ran 15mm & 20mm on rear to get perfect fit. I Vaguely remember a slight rub on one side when I ran 11x18 45et's with 315's on Lowered 993tt, did not roll fenders.

+1, look great. Would be interested in the numbers if you weighed them. I enquired about a set in 2004, 9s and 11s and they told me the weight was "about 10kg" and the centres are low pressure cast with heat treatment.
I never believed those quoted weights so passed....., but like I said, look superb
