Hoosier is now offering their A6 tire in 275/35-15 size. I'm thinking of getting these as they've got the smaller OD of the 225/45-15 tire I like for Auto-x (better gearing, lower c.g.), but in a 275 width. I'm sure they'll fit the rear, it's the front I'm nervous about. My hopes are that they'll be short enough an OD that the fenders won't come into play.

Has anybody tried anything like this? Any input?

What wheels do you plan on squishing the 275's onto??? I hope you are not thinking a 15x7 phone dial...

Good God almighty. I want crime scene pictures.

Panasport C8's. They're available in up to a 15x12" wheel, any 4 or 5 lug bolt pattern.

Phew.

Kinda look like old 914 wheels...

275mm is 11 inches...lol. Hope your car makes enough power to move that much rubber around

Thank gosh, i was about to bust out the Red Foreman 'Dumbass' picture ive been saving...

Anyhow i think you will have issues with the front rubbing on the spring perch if you still have it. Thats just speculation though.

those panasport c4's would look sweet on your 944

Any wider and we may have our first 944 steamroller going.

why only 11 inches wide? why not go for 47? all around? it makes just as much sense

I love Panasports, bet that thing will have some killer bump steer. You can name your car 'Stone Cone Killer'

They're long gone...

Well obviously it's been proven here that 275s fit in the rear. With a small diameter of a 15" wheel, it should fit better then an 18". I have 265's up front with no issues on 18's (but I have 2.5ID springs). Danno fit 275 up front, had to grind off the small brake line tab on the strut (he also ran with 2.5 or 2.25 ID springs). You could make it work. Depending on offset of course. I would count on rolling the front fenders. Good luck!

Forgot to also mention that I have stiff suspension....

and i thought my 245's rubbed the inner wheel well alot in the front under full cornering! Seriously though- 275's? Better put a SC on that thing!
