one can argue until we are blue in the face about 12" being too wide in the back. but i think the consensus is that 9" is THE width to run for 6GT3 up front. that's the size HRE, Fikse, JongBloed, CCW, Forgeline all recommend. if you run 245, it may rub less. with that in mind, of my 4 996gt3 i had, ALL of them rub front fender liner at full lock with stock tire and rim size!!!

Ken - Pm'd you back

I prefer the look of the C14's myself. I'm running 18x9" in the front w/ 235 MPSC and have no rubbing issues at all, on or off the track.

Thanks for the C10 pics, Mooty.

I get some rubbing up front with stock wheels and stock PS2 tires against one of those plastic liners at full lock.
With my 18x9 CCW C14 up front and 245/35 Kumho V710, I get a bit more rubbing at close to full lock.

The rubbing is only during tight turns at parking lot speeds. I'm not concerned.

Powder coating's probably not the best idea on wheels, especially wheels that you'll put on track.


What is the issue? Is it a matter of the heat? Does the powdecoating soften or flow?

Most powdercoating heats the wheel to temps that change (weaken) the properties of the wheel and you run into 2 issues:

1. Hiding cracks
2. Weaker wheel

Painting is the way to go unless you find a very low temp powdercoating process.
