Is anyone running a similar setup on a 944 turbo with a 18x9.5" rear rim ET47 and a 275/35/18 tire? I'm wondering if there is any rubbing issues?

thanks

I think that it will be too close and will probably rub. I am running 285 on 10" rims with 65 offset.
My car is an 1987

I have a 275 on the rear of mine with a 17" x 10" rim and a 255 up front on a 9" but it's early offset, 23mm - no rubbing.

Wow. 255 in the front. I want to try 245's but I am not willing to take the risk of them rubbing.

I ran a 17x9 with a 275 and the same offset and it rubbed. Required some minor rolling of the fender in a ~3" arch. The below pictures show where you will get the rubbing.

thanks for the input guys should probably back it down to a 265 or 255 tire.

I've got 18x11 in the rear with 275 and I rub. I had to buy spacers in order to fit it under the right way. I have an 86' 951 for the record as well.

You need more offset. 47 is very aggressive and you may rub even with a smaller tire.\

I fit 275's in the front on 17x9 ET55 wheels, just need negative camber! I fit the same in the back as well, street tires are 285's on ET65 wheels.

+1 on that.

I am running 996TT wheels which are 18x11 with a 295 and it rubs , but only under hard cornering. On an 88 Turbo S

I have run both 275s and 295s om 18"x10" 55et. No rub on the 275s. 295s were a little taller and rubbed on the inside of the fender well.

275 and no rub

265/40 on an 18x10 ET47, didn't rub on stock suspension:



I now have a 285/35, but haven't lowered the car all the way down off the jackstands to see if it rubs. I did roll my fenders though. We'll see if I need to do it more when I get it back down and when I put some better suspension on it. The rear of the car is now off jackstands so I'll try and get a better picture.

I trial fit 18x11 996TT wheels and even with over -2 camber there was no way it was going to fit on my '89 951.
