Wheel/Tire advise if 295/30/20 rear tires OK with 981 Cayman S
Question moved to Cayman specific group, was getting no action/support in wheel/tire forum
https://rennlist.com/forums/porsche-...n-s-981-a.html
I just purchased a Porsche certified black 2014 Cayman S, with Manual trans and PASM active suspension. All stock ride hight ect.
Has mint OEM silver alloy 19" with brand new Pilot Sport A/S3+ tires but just not my personal preference.
Looking to order the following wheel/tire from a local recommended wheel tire shop per shops tire size recommendation. But not sure if the rear tires are too wide for clearance? Looking for if anyone has similar set up or suggestion if 295/30/20 rear tires with manual trans is OK fitment.
HRE FF01 (Fog finish)
Front 20x8.5 with 235/35/20 Continental Extreme Contact Sport tires
Rear 20x10 with 295/30/20 Continental Extreme Contact Sport tires

Why buy a 295 when the recommended 265/35 20 fits a 10" rim with no issue? 295 is awfully wide (especially if the wheel is 45mm or less offset) and will likely rub.
The Continental is available in both sizes.

Also, have you considered streetable track tires (Pilot Sport Cup 2 or R888R)? Street tires get torn-up fast on the track, and track tires perform much better.
