Azenis RT-615s on 9"/11" wide CCWs with custom offsets. Can't remember what the ET numbers were but they were as agresive as you can go.

I would be very interested in those offset numbers if you have them somewhere..? I think getting the right offset is very critical when it comes to mounting really wide tires on our cars.

Found them for you...48F/38R.

The tires were tall at 25.5" and they have a square shoulder. I had some very slight rubbing in the front left corner on tight, fast cornering but the other was okay. Probably had one corner with one more degree of camber than the other. The offsets worked only because I was running -2F and -1.7R camber, otherwise they would've rubbed in the front.

offset is definitely critical.
This is a friends WB with 305 tires.
Note the clearance between the tire and the inside of the rear fender-well.
I don't know what the ET is, but i would assume somewhere close to 30 - 35.

996 TT rear wheels are ET45.
