Default newby in DFW hello

I have returned to the world of the turbo, after trying for the third time I finally have a quallity turbo. I autocross with the pca here in Dallas. The car has ape chips and banjo bolt running very well, but upgrades to come. This is my 5th 944 the other 2 were 944S never owned a 8v. I hope to enter a 12 step program to fix myself later but I'm still in denile and enjoying it.
Marty

Drove the car all weekend, shaking down great!!! very pleased. What size rear tire can you fit on a 9in rim ? The 225 50 16 is too small for the rim, it fits but looks a bit off, they look fine on the 8in fronts.

255 would work great. I actually squeezed a 275 on a 9inch wheel before.

no one. I was running a 9x17 wheel. 255's work great for your 16' wheels.
