I have a pair of Toyo T1 Sport on the front of my GT3RS.

They look like PSS, are superb and have a feeling that they are on rails for straight line stability. Not affected by ruts or camber changes and felt great at Spa on a track day.

They are not Porsche N approved and they only have a 285 size for the rear but are a great tyre.

No clearance issues with the front calipers?

This is the exact setup I'd like to run.
This TE37 is Super Lap model which is slightly lighter than standard model. Red line is sticker.

I took pictures for you. Would you confirm?
Distance with front caliper is no problem. Distance with front spring is narrow but not interfere.







OEM:8.5J18 +40
TE37:9J18 +46 (Outside:+6mm Inside:+6.7mm)

So what's it like running 285/35 vs 285/30 on these cars? Pros, cons other than change of displayed speed? Does the higher sidewall affect handling at all?

I can not feel the difference of tyre width and height at the town use. Difference between real speed and displayed speed will be confirmed by driftbox shortly.

I confirmed the wheel for 6GT3 on the WORK website, but could not find. Is it possible to buy these in your area? I guess WORK is good brand, but RAYS is still better.

What size meisters would fit? I don't know which center section would fit the pccb caliper. there are so many options.

I haven't looked into getting them yet. What problems did you encounter? From my understanding they can be ordered.

I could not find the meister for Porsche which have 130mm pcd on their web site. The following is WORK web site address.

Looks like you can do 18x9 and 18x11 in +56 offset. In 5x130 pattern.

Because i changed rear tire from 295/30ZR18 to 285/35ZR18, i confirmed the difference between real speed and displayed speed by driftbox.
If 6GT3 get the speed signal from rear tire system, displayed speed should be lower than real speed, but it was results that the displayed speed was faster than driftbox speed which was probably real speed.
Does anybody know where does 6GT3 get the speed signal from?







Quick Reply: 285/35ZR18
