Are any 993 C2 drivers using Hoosier 245/35-18's?

Charles,
I went with the 275/35-18's in the rear. The 245's and 275's have identical diameters. The 305/35-18 is too tall for my taste, plus it's actually wider than a 305/30-18 Hoosier. I'm not sure if it will fit. Then there's the whole issue of what to use for the front. None of their other 18's are even close in diameter and I don't want ABS issues.

Mark,
I ran 245's in front on 8.5 Forgelines with no problems. I think the camber was about -2.5. When I used 245 Toyo's I had a slight rub issue in a tight corner on the top outside edge. Springs 900/1000 F/R.

Are you sure you have the correct offset wheels. I never had a problem with stock or any aftermarket wheels when I ran 245's. It was one of the first upgrades I did to my street 993 too. I also squeezed some 275's on 9 inch wheels in the front, it did rub at full lock though.

Just spoke to Travis who confirmed that I do have the correct offsets for my car. I'm going to have the 245/30 Hoosier tires mounted myself to so I can see how bad (or not) the rubbing is.
I appreciate all of the replies!
