What tires for 12x18 inch rim?
Have 2011 997 C2S.
9x18, 12x18 wheels
Open lapping, DE's.
Tire manufacturer websites (Toyo, Yoko, Nitto, etc) all say 295's, 305's, 315's all should be installed on a 11 or11.5 inch rim max. None of them recommend putting these tires on a 12 inch rim.
What do you knowledgeable track gurus do? Is it safe to stretch these tires on a 12 inch rim?
Many thanks for advice.

I am safely running Nitto 555RII 305/35ZR18 on my 12" Works Meister 3P rims. Nitto has a range of widths that a particular tire should be safe to put on a rim with the suggested, or optimal width being in parenthesis.
I would be surprised if the other performance tire companies did not have the same.
