It seems people are running 305/30 rear tires in their GT3's. What wheel width and offset do you have? I have BBS LeMans on mine: 11" and offset is 56. I wonder if 305/30 Kumho will fit without rubbing? Rear camber is 2.4 degrees negative.

Q&A

I run 295/30/18 MPSC on OEM wheels, with a 15mm spacer per side (front and rear) and that fits perfect. 305 should therefore be no problem at all. Many here drive 305

No problem. Mike

I run stock wheels and fit both 305/30, 305/645 and 315/30s (Hoosier and Nitto). No problems and no rubbing.

305 is rarely an issue. With that much camber I can't see it being a problem unless you have a very low offset wheel.

Thanks for your replies. I forgot to mention that my car is mk1 GT3. The available space inside the fender should be the same though? As the offset is 56 I still think it's going to be very tight fit. Too bad Kumho don't have 295/30 tire at all. (V70A)

Too bad they don't have a 315 you must mean Tons of room for a 305 on a MK1...I have the 305/30 on a 12" rim with lots of room left for more tire.

I was just away for 10 days and drove it at Chuckwalla and Spring Mountain plus I have a race at Miller in 2 weeks.....my wife says I have to show up at home and at work sooner or later. Oh and it's our anniversary this weekend so the trip to TH would cost 1/2 of my net worth...tad pricey even for a weekend at TH

996FLT6

Yep I hear you on that with respect to the SO equation. Just dropped off my wife/daughter at the airport. They be in Shanghai for 2 weeks. I'll be at th this weekend with ncrc. I'm working but got the whole house to myself : ). So the rest of your gang will be at th? Mike

Leigh2

Yes the whole truck...5 cars not sure how many guys are showing up...
