265/35-18 vs. 275/35-18 on 996
Quick question from a tire/wheel novice.
I've got a '99 996 with 18" turbo twist wheels.
Time to replace the rear tires which are 265/35-18.
I put 14mm spacers on the rear which gives the wheels and tires a much better fit, but would the spacers cause tire rub with a slightly wider tire?
Wondering whether slightly larger tires like 275 or 285 would (a) fit (b) look better and (c) grip better??
Thanks for any ideas!
