Quick update, I put 265/60/18 Blizzaks on today and they fit fine. They also look pretty cool. Tall and skinny rather than the short fat summer tire look.

Cole,
Can you send a link for the wheel spacers? I just bought an 09 GTS that has 18s for winter, but it just does not look right. I was considering selling them and buying some 19s, but I cant really justify buying new when these are on the GTS already. Thanks

The spacers I used are H&R 30 mm spacers. Just about any Porsche cataog will have them.



I took this set off my buddies race car for the winter.

always wondered what size the Transsyberia tires were, they look amazing.

Update on my snows. We've had a brutal winter and the 265/60/18 Blizzaks have been great. The GTS is a blast in the deep snow. I'd highly recommend them.
