ADVAN slicks 280/650R18 vs 280/680R18
For a stock 996 C2, used in DE's, does it matter that much if I use the bigger overall diameter tire in the rear? Does it put more strain than usual on the clutch or dirvetrain? I don't think scrubbing the fenders is going to be an issue. Thank you. Repost from Tire/wheel forum but there's more viewer traffic here.

OK! Well, the whole reason for this post is because of this disclaimer: http://www.bobwoodmantires.com/yokohama/yokohama.html
What is interesting is that everyone running on Yoko's this weekend at the Club Race was using 280/650R18's on the rear! I figured if the Cup Cars cannot make the tires blow up, then it should be OK for a purely stock car.
