Jason did you pick up the Set in Waterloo?
996 WB is 8X18 in 225/40/18 & 10X18 in 265/35/18 but 9 out of 10 people run 11X18 with the 265... I run this with no issues
You can also use 8X18 in 235/40/18 & 11X18 in 295/35/18... i ran that set up for 4 Winters![Cheers](https://rennlist.com/forums/images/smilies/beerchug.gif)
But i prefer the 8X18 in 225/40 and 11X18 in 265/35

Thanks Zookie
My stock set up is:
F 8x18 +50
R 11x18 +45
Im told I must have 18s to clear the brakes and I also need to keep the f/r diameter to within 3% to keep my front diff healthy.
So Zook, your differential was fine running 235/40s with 295/35s? That is very close to the max difference at 2.8% - no PSM issues?
So 225/40/18 and 275/35/18, 225/40/18 and 265/35/18, and 235/40/18 and 295/35/18 all work, plus some others, but the ones listed seem to be the most common.
Thx

About My Diff it seems fine, I Actully ran 225/295 which is 3.99%, i know it was Close and ride was Floaty... Also the PSM Kicked in at "High Speed" once in a while thats why i went down to 265 eventually... but i doubt 3-5% will damage the Diff
Yes you can also run 275 with the 225 in the front... I have seen 275 on a Turbo with 11" Wheel and the Fit looks Cleaner... But i like the Strech/Poke look of the 265... Hell its only 3-4 months anyways

265/275 Rubber are Similarly Priced but only Bridgestone & Hankook makes 275 as far as i know... Lots to Choose in 265, i opted for Falken EuroWinters... Much much better than the Perilli 240 Snowsports i had before

my set up for the last 5 winters with no issues at all: Pirelli Snowsport. Fronts are 235/40/18, rear are 295/35/18. Slightly higher sidewall than the summer tires and the ride is a bit softer, but it works great.

I called on those WFC sets (there are two decent ones there), but yep, both $1800.
No need to spend that much!
I found a set used in Detroit - expect to pay for them later today - so LAST CHANCE FOR LOCALS!!!!
