Hi,

I have stock set of 8" and 10" wide 18" rims for my 997 C2, so I wonder if 245/35ZR18 hoosiers will fit properly on a 8" wide front rims or if they really need 8.5" rims.

It`s just a pity I have those carrera classic rims with winter rubber on them and never use them. Plus idea of me buying 3rd set of rims upsets my wife.

Essentially first logical option was to get oz allegeritas in 18" 8.5" ronts 11" rears and get 245 and 315 tires on them - second option I consider is to get 245 fronts and 295 rears for stock rims. Usage - 80% auto-x and 20% DE.

Any opinions?

Hoosier specs the 245/35X18 R6 for an 8 - 9.5" wheel, so you are w/i spec, but wider is better for performance. An 8 is relatively worst and a 9.5 is relatively best for performance. But they all work well in that size range
