Fronts will fit, but those are pretty skinny tires.

Rears will have to be rolled a few mm (3mm ~ish) but should work.

I don't think they will, I have run 275's on that combo but not 295.

H- is right. With a 275, you probably won't have to roll the fender, but the 295 will require it. I think a 275 tire will look funny on an 11" wheel.

they belong to a local lady who tracks 911s, she just put kinessis wheels on and doesn't want these anymore...
tires have 1 DE on them IIRC, wheels are in good shape, 1 has a small nick
I could get pics from her if anyone is really serious, though I'm not sure she's into shipping I could probably take care of this for a small fee

Back off, with your wimpy GTS motor, tires that wide would only slow your car down

I run 8x18 245/35 front and 10/18 265x45 rear...no issues . Included the 'stock' look which I corrected before I ever sat in it. No regrets but the combo does 'tram' a little but not obnoxious.

LOL Eric, my Godzilla eats GTSes for breakfast .... I do manage to burn both rears off the line in the GTS though, and those are 275's ...

Rixter, FYI those sound like the sizes Tony is running. There are threads with pictures of his fitment.

If those Pilot Sports are Pilot Sport Cups... I'll drive down and pick them up this weekend.
