Agree- might just low ball them to clear up space and score some OZs or Forgelines for track as well. My NT01s (235/315x18) are still in as new shape so could move those over. Read too many links that e new 305-35 are the route forward. Any reason why I don't smoke thorough my 315s first?

What about when you actually drive it, does it rub over bumps, or if you are cornering hard? What camber are you running in the rear?

If the car clears with me jacking up the opposite end , to compress this side, i should be good. I will verify when i get brakes. Car has no brakes. Waitin on my irons i just ordered.

For reference, on my .2 GT3 I run:
Front 19x9" ET35 with 235 or 245/35/19 cups. -3 camber (top mounts spun)
Rear 19x12" ET50 with 305/30/19 cups. -1.8 camber.
I have no rubbing at all, but cut and folded my rear inner lip where it meets the rear bumper.

I jacked up opposite corner to give it max compression. I can fit a finger no problem.
My hats are different, not OEM tho.

Default ATS GTR 9x19 et48 snd 12x19 et48 on.2 GT3 with trofeo r

Hi can someone help me?

I saw a user to fit a 12x19 et50 wheel with cups 2 on a 997.2 gt3 with cut and folded inner fender lip in the rear.

Will the cutting and folding also clear a ATS GTR wheel in 12x19 et48 with trofeo r in 305/30 19? Camber, i am looking at something between -2.5 to -3.3 in the rear (haven't fully decided yet).

Thanks

Stefan
