Just got a 1988 924 S. Has the stock 195's on the 15 inch phone dials. I hear I can go to 215's but they might rub. Is this true? Or should I go to the traditional 205 upgrade?
I am wondering what you all run for tires. Looking for some good street tires that won't break the bank. I have bridgestone S-03's on my 911 and love them, any other suggestions?
Thanks and best wishes - Jay Gratton

Now there must be some serious tire rubbing going on in there! Thanks for the picture. The guys in the office found it wild. Best wishes - Jay Gratton

It is routine to fit 225/50's to 15x7 phone dials on 924S 944 spec cars. Depending on the camber it can be tigth in front. Rear is breeze.

A few 924S street guys run 225 rears and 205 fronts to clear the springs.

Not sure that a 215/60 R15 will work however. Since the 225/50 is wider, but it is also shorter too it may fits, but the 215/60 may not.

I have Yoko ES100's on my 83 and my Turbo S. Good tire are good price. Not as good as the SO3 , but much cheaper.

I run 205's up front and 225's in the rear...no rubs.

I'd say the 205's up front are max. With the right offset you could squeeze 245's in the rear.

If it's the same as the early 944, you should be able to fit a 215 50, and that'd look better too. I have 225/50's on my 84 944 and love em.

The front is the only issue. I run 225/50 16 on the rear with no clearance issues at all, but I starting to think if I went any wider than 205/55 on the front with stock spring diameter I will see rubbing. Besides that, it is a lot of rubber to role around.
