315's

Hello Everybody,

I am a new memeber, I just aquired an 02 Seal Gray 4S about a week ago and am now looking to get wheels. Can someone tell me what set up wheel wise I need to get in order to put 315's in the rear without rubbing? Is it possible?

Thanks,
Mario

Have you sold your wheels yet? Can your wheels take 315's on them

to run a 315 you need a 11.5in wheel or 12in wheel. this is in 19in form

speak only with those that have been there done that. very few people run 12s on the 996 because they just don't know.

contact alan baylis on this board for the answers. i run 12s and 315s no rubbing perfect fitment.

315, doesn't that make the car push a bit in the corners?

245/20 ???

That should be a pleasant ride.... What tire manufacturer even makes that size?

If you're going to recommend bling, you may as well recommend the full bling package. Don't forget to make 'em spinners.....

My mistress has a big *** and the GF doesn't mind.

Like he said, Get to the right guy on the board or right tire pro who understands the # game. I have a body kit and am "forced" to run 335's.

I get no push in the front but I am running 275's up front. For your visual stimulation.

19 x 12 48ET/315 is a good fit.

Right Ben
