trying to figure that out, need 245/35.20 and 305/30.20 but only company that makes that is pirelli PZero but i need to check how they fit on a 12" rear... really need a 315/325 but nobody makes a 27" overall diameter 315/325 right now.
as said above, michelin makes 295 but this is a 12". so has to be pirelli.
yes, but thats 6 months out for delivery... gotta enjoy today.

325/25/20 is 26.4"... i know this is marginal differences but i like the extra OD on the 991... i think i'm going to do the bridgestone potenza S001 in 305/30/20 and 245/35/20.
first debating if I want different rims however.

I would go with an 11" wheel if you are going to run 305's.

im sure you could, on a 9.5 would be better suited.
a 305 michelin would be good on an 11" (have done it before, they run narrow), but 305" bridgestone should be good on the 12"... if nitto made the right size in an INVO i would run it... i've done wheels a while, dunlops and michelin would need a 325. but other brands run much wider.
that is a 305 michelin and a 295 INVO, on 11" wheel..

I like them. Might not be my first choice, but I do like them. I much prefer them to the ones you had on your car. For me, I do not like a solid black wheel. Just the polished lip on my GTS CL's is enough, but I have got to have something other than total black.

hi there, i think this is the right crew to ask the question.
i've got a 2008 911 turbo and needing some tire help. been using michelin pilot sport ps2. great tires. front size: 245 30 20 and rears 325 25 20. had hell of a time finding new rears but eventually did bout a month ago. then a week after i blew out my front right on a pot hole. been desperately searching for replacement fronts. michelin stopped making the ps2s (stupid). i just found 245 35 20s. do you think i can use these or will it screw up the drivetrain because the rears are 325 25 20? help!!!
