Whose Running Hoosier H2O's?
I need some rain tires and want to run the Hoosier H2O wets.
Seems logical to run a 245/275, but I've seen some guys running a 305 in the rear. Can anyone tellme what will fit my standard 6Cup wheels?
TIA

Those are true rain tires, and a narrower tire will work better in the wet. I would stay away from a 305 for sure.

Ran 6 straight hours on a set at sebring for the PBOC race a few weeks ago.
They did awesome, kept them wet, and we were fine.

Are the wheels 18x9 and 18x11 or 18x12?

+1
I did the same on 245/275 on stock 996 C2 wheels
(EDITED prior post. I forgot my rain tires are on the street wheels that came with the car.)

If you are going with Hoosier H2O's then 245/35R18 and 275/35R18 are perfect!
