Tony, Thats an aggressive looking tire...what is it and why'd you pick it? I am considering new tires and my rear rims are 11.5" They have 265/40/17's on them now and are not quite filling out the rim.

One of the GTS w/new C3 wheels. Picked them up for Cheap, w brand new PS2 rubber on them.
Not my first choice in size for the rear (265/40-18). They are too tall and too skinny, and are probably jacking my speedo up. Checked the rolling diameter and they are waaaaayyy tall. Fronts are 235/40-18 and look very good! Will probably go to 295/35 in rear, but not sure if the 10inch rims will take them.
I will say that the car is night and day from the old cup 2s with Fuzion Rubber on it. I was never impressed with the way the car drove. (My 79 felt worlds better!!!) Changing the wheels and tires the car is quieter, planted, drives dead on straight, and feels very planted and tight!!
I don't want to get too far to the limits of a 10inch wheel, so any thoughts on how a 295/35 will fit on it? Probaly will end up w 275/35-18 as it is just about the same rolling diameter as the fronts are currently. This should hold me until I put Fikses or Kinesis wheels on it eventually. There are just a few "Have to do's" right now with the car that will take priority over the custom wheels.

Thanks Larry, I really can't believe what a difference the setup has on handling. I can only imagine what a set of custom rims w some VERY wide meat would do for the handling!
Adam, thanks for the website. I'll add it to my Porsche favorites!
