I am using 18X11.5 rims and want to put on the widest tires possible, without rubbing or sticking out. Anybody know if a 315/30 will fit? Thanks in advance.

Should be fine - just cut the fenders off.

As long as you're at stock height, it should work. I've got 315/30 P-Zero Rossos on my car (pretty low), and I only get an occaional rub of the tread on the fender liner. Sounds worse that it really is, and only happens with the suspension set soft, and hitting a big bump. Oh, yeah, roll the fenders.

DJ,
Same rim width? And BTW: We should not post flip replies, Ray. <img src="graemlins/nono.gif" border="0" alt="[nono]" />
So regarding the original question, yes, it works, just raise the car to SUV height...

Would sure be nice if I could get ONE straight forward answer to a simple question. Will they fit or not? I ask for help...then get crapped on. thanks!

See Ray! What did I tell you? Now you went and did it...

Phil,
Where did you get those little red "sharks"? <img src="graemlins/beerchug.gif" border="0" alt="[cheers]" />

Factory Tech Bulletin sez only 285/30X18 on 10" wheels w/ 40mm offset or 65 mm offset w/ 25mm spacer ring. So I WILL NOT go against what Porsche sez.

I have rubbed w/ my stock 255/40X17 on my '95 993 - depends on tire brand (this w/ rolled fenders). So rather be safe than sorry.

Phil

hmmmmm

The red sharks come from an Italian sports clothing manufacturer called "Paul and Shark" (wish they'd called it "Phil and Shark" though...)

Phil

Phil,
Where can I get a "shark"?

Let me know what color you want, and I'll mail it to you... (believe they come in red, white, yellow...)
